(A) Uses authorized by special use permit. Uses authorized by special permit include the following: adult motion picture theaters; bookstores; massage parlors, under provisions of this chapter.
(B) Special uses that may be permitted; site development requirements for adult motion picture theaters; bookstores; massage parlors. The following land and structures used may be permitted within the particular zone districts cited, provided the applicable specified conditions established in this subchapter are complied with.
(C) Purpose.The purpose and intent of this section is to regulate the location of, but not to exclude, adult bookstores, adult motion picture theaters, adult mini-motion picture theaters and massage parlors in the village, by preventing the concentration of such used in one area. This regulation is done with the understanding that the village recognizes that there are some uses which, because of their nature, have serious objectionable operational characteristics, particularly if several of them are concentrated under circumstances having a delirious effect upon adjacent resident and commercial areas. The village recognizes that the regulation of such uses is necessary to ensure that adverse effects will not contribute to the blighting or downgrading of a surrounding residential neighborhood.
(D) Location of uses. No building or land, and no building hereafter erected, converted or structurally altered, shall be used as an adult bookstore, adult motion picture theater, adult mini-motion picture theater or massage parlor within 400 feet of the property line of any residentially zoned district as defined in this chapter or within 1,000 feet of any public school or public facility or religious site of assembly, worship and school.
