WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners of Collier County, Florida, hereinafter also referred to as "the Board," recognizes that there is convincing documented evidence that sexually oriented businesses, because of their w~ry nature, have a deleterious effect on both the existing businesses around them and the surrounding residential areas adjacent to them, c~using increased crime and the downgrading of property values; a~. WHEREAS, it is recognized that sexually oriented businesses~ due to their nature, have serious objectionable operational[ characteristics, particularly when they are located in closa proximity to each other, thereby contributing to urban blight and downgrading the. quality of life in the adjacent area; and WHERF.%S, evidence and testimony has been presented at public hea:~ings befor~ the Collier County Planning Commission and the Collier County Board of County Commissioners concerning the neg~tive secondary effects of sexually oriented businesses on the co~ununity, including the following studies prepared by other jurisdictions: "Report on Adult Oriented Businesses in Austin", Texas, dated Ma}, 19, 1986 and prepared by the Office of Land Development Services of the City of Austin; "Adult Entertainment Businesses in Oklahoma City, A Survey of Real Estate Applraisers," Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, dated March 3, 1986 and prepared by the City of Oklahoma City Community Development Department, Planning Division; "Legislative Report", Houston, Texas, dated by the City Sec:~etary as November 30, 1:)83 and prepared by the Committee on the Proposed Regulation of Sexually Oriented Businesses of the City of Houston, Texas; "Adult Business Study", Phoenix,, Arizona, dated May 25, 1979 and prepared by the P].anning Department of the City of Phoenix; "Adult Entertainment Businesses in Indianapolis, an Analysis", Indianapolis, Indiana, dated February, 1984 and prepared by the Department of Metropolitan Development, Division of Planning of t~e City of Indianapolis; "A Report on Zoning and Other Methods of Regulating Adult Entertainment :in Amarillo", Texas, dated September 12, 1977 and prepared by th~: Planning Department of the City of Amarillo; "Regulation of Adult Uses", Beaumont, Texas, revised September 14, 1982 and prepared by the Planning Department of the City of Beaumont; and "Director's. Report, Proposed Land Use Code Text Amendment, Adult Cabarets", Seattle., Washington dated March, 1989 and prepared by thE: Department of Construction and Land Use of the City of Seattle; and WHEREAS, the Board further finds, based on evidence and testimony presented at public hearings before the ~Board and the Collier County Planning Commission, and on the above-mentioned reports, that: 1. Sexually oriented businesses may now or in the future exist within Collier County, Florida, wh~re books, maga:?-ines, videocassettes or video re]productions, motion pictur~s, prints, photographs, periodicals, recolrds, novelti(~s and/or devices and other materials which depict, iljustrate, describe or relate to specified sexual activities or specified anatomical areas are possess,.=d, displayed, exhibited, rented, distributed and/or sold; 2. Sexually oriented businesses may now or in the future exist within Collier County, Florida: a. Where th,~ superficial 'tissues of one person are manipulated, fondled, rubbed, ~troked, kneaded, and/or tapped by a second person, accompanied by the display or exposure of specified anatomical areas; b. Where dancer:~, entertainers, performers, or other individuals, who, for any form of commercial gain, perform or are presented nude, semi-nude or while displaying or exposing any specified anatomical a~reas; or c. Where straddle dancing occurs. 3. The activities described in Findings Subsections 1 and 2 above occur at sexually oriented businesses for the purpose of making a profit and, as such, are subject to regulation by Collier County, Florida in the interests of health, safety, morals and general welfare ,of th(~ people of Collier County. 4. When the activities described in Findings Subsections 1 and 2 above are present in sexually oriented businesses within Collier County, Florida, other activities that are illegal, immoral, or unhealthful tend to accompany them, concentrate around them, and be aggravated by them. Such other activities include, but are not limited to, prostitution, panderin(.;, soliciting for prostitution, lewd and lascivious behavior, exposing minors to harmful materials, poss¢~;~ion, distribution and trans- portation of obsc~ne materials, sale or possession of controlled substances, and violent crimes against persons and property. 5. When the activities described in Findings Subsections 1 and 2 above are present in sexually oriented businesses within Collier County, Florida, they tend to attrac, t an undesirabl~ number of transients, blight m~-ighborhoods, adversely affect neighboring businesses, lower real property values, promote crime, particularly the kinds detailed in Findings Subsection 4 above, and ultimately lead residents and businesses to move to other locations. 6. Employees of sexually oriented businesses at which the activities described in Findings Subsections 1 and 2 above occur engage in a higher incidence of certain types of criminal behavior than employees of other establishments. 7. Physical contact within establishments at which the activities described in Findings Subsections i and 2 above occur between employees who appear nude, semi-nude or while exhibiting specified anatomical areas, and customers, poses a threat to the health of both and promote~'; the spread of communicable and social diseases. 8. In order to preserve the health, safety, morals, and general welfare of the people of Collier County, Florida, it is necessary and advisable for Collier County, Florida to regulate the conduct of owners, managers, operators, agents, employees, entertainers, performers, and customers at sexually oriented businesses where the activities described in Findings Subsections 1 and 2 above occur. 9. The potential dangers to the health, ~safety, morals, and general welfare of the people of Collier County, Florida, posed by permitting a sexually oriented business at which the activities described in Findings Subsections 1 and 2 above occur to operate without first obtaining a permit are so great as to require the permitting of such sexually oriented businesses prior to their being permitted to operate. 10. "Straddle dancing" does not contain any element of communication and is therefore conduct rather than expression. 11. "Straddle dancing" in sexually oriented businesses poses a threat to the health of the participants and promotes the spread of communicable and social diseases. WHEREAS, the Board finds that the prevention of sexual contact between patrons and employees at sexually oriented busine~ses is unrelated to the suppression of free expression but serves to address th(~ concerns raised in the findings contained herein. Although the dancer's erotic message may be slightly less effective from three feet away, the ability to engage in th~a protected expression is not significantly impaired; and WHEREAS, Separating dancers from patrons and prohibiting dancers and patrons from engaging in sexual fondling and caressing in sexually oriented businesses would reduce the opportunity for prostitution transactions and thus should deter prostitution; and WHEREAS, the "Report: of Grand Jury" of Collier County, Florida dated December 13, 1983 strongly recommend~d that the Collie~ County Board of County Commissioners establish a comprehensive ordinance regulating adult entertainment establishments; and ~{EREAS, the Collier County Board of County Commissioners and the Collier Count~ Planning Commission have considered the decisions of the United States Supr~me Court regarding local government regulation of sexually oriented businesses in the following cases: Young ~ American Mini-Theaters ~Dc~, 427, U.S. 50, 49 L.Ed. 2d. 310, 96 S.Ct. 2440 (1976) reh. den. 429 U.S. 873, 50 L.Ed. 2d. 155, 97 S.Ct. 191; Renton v. Playtime Theaters. ID¢,, 475 U.S. 41, 89 L.Ed. 2d. 29, 106 S.Ct. 925 (1986), reh. den. 475 U.S. 1132, 90 L.Ed. 2d. 205, 106 S.Ct. 1663; and FW/PB$. Inc, v,_ Dallas, 493 U.S. 215, 107 L.Ed. 2d. 603, 110 S.Ct. 596 (1990); and WHEREAS, the Board has also considered the very recent United States Supreme Court decision in Barnes v. Glen Theatre, Inc., _~ U.S. __, L.Ed. 2d. , 111 S.Ct. 2456, 59 USLW 4745, and FLW Fed. S 633 (6/21/91), upholding an Indiana Statute prohibiting totally nude dancing even in commercial establishments not serving alcohol; and WHEREAS, the Board has considered at public hearing the November 19, 1990 "Memorandum of Law Regarding Collier County Regulation of Adult Sexually Oriented Business and Obscenity" prepared by the Office of the Collier County Attorney; and W~[EREAS, the Collier County Board of County Commissioners finds that the location of sexually oriented businesses in the incorporated or unincorporated area of Collier County requires special supervision from the public safety agencies of the County in order to protect and preserve the health, safety, and welfare of the patrons of such businesses as well as the citizens of the county; and WHEREAS, the Board finds that sexually oriented businesses are frequently u~ed for unlawful sexual activities, including prostitution and sexual liaisons of a casual nature; and WHEREAS, the Board finds that requiring permittees of sexually oriented busine:sses to keep information regarding current employees and certain past employees will help reduce the incidence of certain types of criminal behavior by facilitating the identification of potential witnesses or suspects and by preventing minors from working in such establishments; and W/~EREAS, the concern over sexually transmitted diseases is a legitimate health concern of th~ County which demands reasonable regulation of sexually oriented businesses in order to protect the health and well-being of the citizens; and %~EREAS, it is in the public interest to require the disclosure of certain information by those persons ultimately responsible for the day-to-day operation and maintenance of the sexually oriented business where such information is substantially related to the significant governmental interest in the operation of such uses in a manner as to prevent the spread of sexually transmitted dis~ases and to reduce or eliminate the criminal activity associated with sexually oriented businesses; and WHEREAS, permitting and/or licensing is a legitimate and reasonable means of accountability to insure that operators of sexually oriented businesses comply with reasonable regulations and to insure that operators do not knowingly ali. ow their establishments to be used as places of illegal sexual activity or solicitation; and WHEREAS, A substantial rational relationship between sexually oriented businesses and sexually related crimes --7-- establishes a compelling justification for barring those prone to such crime,s from the management of such businesses; and ~qEREAS, The fact that an applicant for a sexually oriented business license has been ,convicted of a sexually related crim~ leads to a rational inference that the applicant im morm likely to engage in conduct in contravention of this Ordinance; and WHEREAS, The barring of a person from participating in a sexually oriented busines~ may cease when circumstances indicate to Collier County that offenders are no longer criminally inclined; and ~{EREAS, The barring of such individuals from management of sexually oriented businesses for a period of years serves as a deterrent to and prevents the conduct which leads to the transmission of sexually transmitted diseases and to the promotion of that criminal activity associated with sexually oriented businesses; and ~{EREAS, the Collier County Board of County Commissioners desires to minimize and control the adverse and negative secondary effects of sexually oriented businesses and thereby protect the health, safety, and welfare of the citizenry; protect the citizens from increase¢! crime; preserve the quality of life; preserve the property values and character of surrounding neighborhoods and deter the spread of urban blight; ~EREAS, the Board has determined that locaLional criteria alone do not adequately protect the health, safety, and general welfare of the people of Collier County; and WHEREAS, the Board has determined that it: is in the public interest to set forth certain requirements with respect to the ownership a. nd operation of sexually oriented businesses~ and ~ER~S, the Board finds that it shall be in the public interest and promote clarity and certainty in the law to establish fixed percentage standards for defining and regulating sexually orient~d businesses that offer tangible inventory of sexually oriented materials for sale or rental for any form of consideration; and WHERESS, it is not thai intent of this Ordinance to suppress any speech activities protected by the First Amendment, but to enact a content-neutral ordinance which addresee:s the negative, s~condary effects of sexually-oriented business~s; and WHEREAS, it is not the intent of the Collier County Board of County Commissioners to condone or in any way legitimize the distribution of obscene material, and the Board recognizes that State law prohibits the distribution of obscene materials and expects and encourages State and local law enforcement officials to enforce State obscenity statutes against any such illegal activities in Collier County.
