The purpose of this article is to regulate adult entertainment establishments with
the intention that, through this ordinance, many types of criminal activities frequently
engendered by such businesses and the adverse effect on property values and on the
public health, safety, and welfare of the county, and on its citizens and property,
and on the character of its neighborhoods and development, will be curtailed and/or
prevented. This article is not intended as a de facto prohibition of legally protected
forms of expression. This article is intended to represent a balancing of competing
interests: reduced criminal activity and protection of neighborhoods and development
through the regulation of adult entertainment establishments versus any legally protected
rights of adult entertainment establishments and patrons. This article is not intended
to allow or license any business, establishment, or activity which would otherwise
be unlawful.
