higher crime, however, there is no provisions addressing absentee
landlords within the Ordinance.
b. Studies have shown that adult establishments which allow more
than one use have more detrimental impacts than establishments
providing only one use. The prohibition of more than one use in
adult establishments is not addressed within the Ordinance.
c. Studies have shown that negative impacts diminish significantly at
three blocks or more away from an adult use establishment. The
Planning Commission would like further information on how the
provision of not allowing adult establishments within 500 feet of
any protected uses relates to diminishing negative impacts.
Adopted this 3rd day of April. 1996.
