PERFORMANCE STANDARDS <br /> ADULT USES <br /> a. Purpose. The nature of adult uses is such that <br /> they are recognized as having adverse secondary <br /> characteristics, particularly when they are <br /> accessible to minors and located near residential <br /> property or related residential uses such as <br /> schools, day care centers, libraries or parks. <br /> Furthermore, the concentration of adult uses has an <br /> adverse effect upon the use and enjoyment of <br /> adjacent areas. The nature of adult uses requires <br /> that they not be allowed within certain zoning <br /> districts, or within minimum distances from each <br /> other or residential uses. Special regulation of <br /> adult uses is necessary to ensure that the adverse <br /> secondary effects would not contribute to the <br /> blighting or downgrading of the surrounding <br /> property and lessening of its value. <br /> b. General. Adult uses as defined in the Chapter <br /> shall be subject to the following general <br /> provisions: <br /> (i. ) Activities classified as obscene are not <br /> permitted and are prohibited. <br /> 13 <br />
