Intent. The City of North Olmsted hereby recognizes that some uses, because of their very <br />nature, may have serious objectionable operational characteristics, particularly when they <br />are concentrated in a location, thereby causing a deleterious effect upon the adjacent areas. <br />The proximity of 'sexually oriented businesses to certain uses considered particularly <br />susceptible to the negative impacts of the concentration of sexually oriented uses tends to <br />erode the quality of life, adversely affect property values, disrupt business investment, <br />encourage residents and businesses to move or avoid the community, increase crime, and <br />contribute to a blighting effect on the surrounding area. There is convincing documented <br />evidence of the deleterious effect that sexually oriented businesses have on both existing <br />businesses around them and the surrounding residential areas to which they are adjacent. <br />Therefore, the following intents are served by these regulations: <br />1. This section describes the uses regulated and the specific standards necessary to <br />ensure that the adverse effects of these uses will not contribute to the deterioration of <br />the surrounding neighborhood, to prevent undesirable concentration of these uses, and <br />to require sufficient spacing from uses considered most susceptible to negative impacts. <br />Page 1118-13 City of North Olmsted Zoning Code <br />
