Secs. 64-1656--64-1674. Reserved.
Sec. 64-1654. Intent and findings.
(a) Generally. The city council intends and finds the following:
(1) It is the intent of this subdivision to regulate the place of operation of adult bookstores as
defined in section 64-1 . The city council finds, based upon an October, 1980, study by the
Minnesota Crime Prevention Center, Inc., Minneapolis, Minnesota, entitled "An Analysis of the
Relationship Between Adult Entertainment Establishments, Crime, and Housing Values," that
adult bookstores are significantly related to diminishing market values of neighboring residential
areas, that adult bookstores should not be located in residential areas, and that adult
bookstores should be permitted only in locations that are at least one-tenth mile, or
approximately 500 feet, from residential areas.
(2) The city council further finds, based upon a June 1978 study by the Division of Planning of the
St. Paul, Minnesota, Department of Planning and Economic Development and the Community
Crime Prevention Project of the Minnesota Crime Control Planning Board entitled "Effects on
Surrounding Area of Adult Entertainment Businesses in Saint Paul," that the presence of adult
bookstores correlates with a decreasing market value of neighboring residential areas, that
adult bookstores tend to locate in areas of poorer residential condition, tend to be followed by a
relative worsening of the residential condition, and that more than two adult entertainment
businesses in an immediate area is associated with a statistically Significant decrease in
residential property market value, and that such a concentration of adult entertainment
businesses in a given area should be discouraged. The board also finds that such worsening of
residential conditions will adversely affect uses found in residential areas or in the proximity of
residential areas, such as public recreational facilities, public or private institutional uses,
churches, schools, universities, colleges, trade-schools, libraries, and day care centers.
(3) The city council further finds, based upon a May 19, 1986, land use study conducted in Austin,
Texas, that an adult bookstore within one block of a residential area decreases the market value
of homes, that adult bookstores are considered a sign of decline by lenders, making
underwriters hesitant to approve the 90 to 95 percent financing many homebuyers require, and
that patrons of adult bookstores tend to be from outside the immediate neighborhood in which
the adult bookstore is located.
(4) The city council further finds, based upon a March 3, 1986, study conducted by the Oklahoma
City, Oklahoma, Community Development Department entitled "Adult Entertainment Businesses
in Oklahoma City-A Survey of Real Estate Appraisers," that an adult bookstore will have a
negative effect on residential property market values if it is located closer than one block to
residential uses.
(5) The city council further finds that this section of this zoning ordinance regarding regulation of
adult bookstores has been carefully considered by a workgroup of city staff drawn from the
RZ14-02 Text Amendment prepared for the Mayor and City Council Work Session on June 9, 2014

areas of law enforcement, land use, land planning, and law; by the planning commission at
public meetings where public comment was available; and by a committee of citizens with
expertise in law, real estate, land use, and other disciplines, who have reviewed this section,
particularly with respect to its provisions relating to the effects of adult bookstores on market
values of residential and other property, and that the information gathered and results of this
informal study support the need for these development standards.
(6) This subdivision is intended to be a carefully tailored regulation to minimize the adverse land
use impacts caused by the undesirable secondary effects of adult bookstores, and the city
council finds that restricting adult bookstores to industrially zoned areas and imposing
development standards can legitimately regulate adult bookstores by establishing zones where
adult bookstores are most compatible with other uses or the surrounding neighborhood, and by
requiring minimum distances to be maintained between adult bookstore uses and other uses so
as to afford the most protection to residential uses.
(7) It is not the intent of the city council, in enacting this section, to deny to any person rights to
speech protected by the United States or state constitutions, nor is it the intent to impose any
additional limitations or restrictions on the contents of any communicative materials, including
sexually oriented films, videotapes, books, or other materials; further, in the adoption of this
subdivision, the city council does not intend to deny or restrict the rights of any adult to obtain or
view any sexually oriented materials protected by the United States or state constitutions, nor
does it intend to restrict or deny any constitutionally protected rights that distributors or
exhibitors of such sexually oriented materials may have to sell, distribute, or exhibit such
constitutionally protected materials; finally, in the enactment of this zoning ordinance, the city
council intends to adopt a content neutral measure to address the secondary effects of adult
bookstores.
(b) Required districts. M-1, M-2 (Industrial), C-1 and C-2 (Commercial) districts.
