[Adopted 10-14-1999 by Ord. No. 1999-10]
A.
Purpose.
(1)
Pursuant to the authority granted in the Second Class
Township Code to prohibit nuisances; to promote the health, cleanliness,
comfort and safety of the citizens of Caln Township; and to regulate
the time of opening and closing and the conduct of places of public
entertainment, amusement and recreation, the Township of Caln enacts
this article to minimize and control the adverse effects of adult
entertainment business uses (also referred to hereinafter occasionally
as "adult entertainment businesses") and thereby protect the health,
safety and welfare of its citizens; protect the citizens from increased
crime; preserve the quality of life; preserve the property values
and character of surrounding neighborhoods; and deter the spread of
blight.
(2)
The Board of Commissioners has determined that locational
criteria alone cannot adequately protect the health, safety and general
welfare of the people of the Township and that licensing is a legitimate
and reasonable means of accountability to ensure that operators of
adult entertainment businesses comply with reasonable regulations
and to ensure that operators do not knowingly allow their establishments
to be used as places of illegal sexual activity or solicitation.
(3)
The Board of Commissioners does not intend this article
to suppress any speech activities protected by the First Amendment
but to enact a content-neutral ordinance which addresses the secondary
effects of adult entertainment businesses.
B.
Findings. The Board of Commissioners finds:
(2)
The finding noted in Subsection B(1) above raises substantial governmental concerns, as do the following legislative findings.
(3)
Adult entertainment businesses have operational characteristics
which should be reasonably regulated in order to protect those substantial
governmental concerns.
(4)
A reasonable licensing procedure is an appropriate
mechanism to place the burden of that reasonable regulation on the
owners and the operators of the adult entertainment businesses. Further,
such a licensing procedure will place a heretofore nonexistent incentive
on the operators to see that the adult entertainment business is run
in a manner consistent with the health, safety and welfare of its
patrons and employees, as well as the citizens of the Township. It
is appropriate to require reasonable assurances that the licensee
is the actual operator of the adult entertainment business, fully
in possession and control of the premises and activities occurring
therein.
(5)
Removal of doors on adult booths and requiring sufficient
lighting on premises with adult booths advances a substantial governmental
interest in curbing the illegal and unsanitary sexual activity occurring
in adult theaters.
(6)
Requiring licensees of adult entertainment businesses
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.
(7)
The disclosure of certain information by those persons
ultimately responsible for the day-to-day operation and maintenance
of the adult entertainment business, where such information is substantially
related to the significant governmental interest in the operation
of such uses, will aid in preventing the spread of sexually transmitted
diseases.
(8)
It is desirable in the prevention of the spread of
communicable diseases to obtain a limited amount of information regarding
certain employees who may engage in the conduct which this article
is designed to prevent or who are likely to be witnesses to such activity.
(9)
The fact that an applicant for a license to operate
an adult entertainment business has been convicted of a sexually related
crime leads to the rational assumption that the applicant is likely
to engage in that conduct in contravention of this article.
(10)
The barring of such individuals from the management
of adult uses for a period of years serves as a deterrent to and prevents
conduct which leads to the transmission of sexually transmitted diseases.
(11)
The general welfare, health and safety of the citizens
of the Township will be promoted by the enactment of this article.
A.
