The purpose of this chapter is to regulate certain types of businesses, including,
but not limited to, adult entertainment establishments, to the end that the many types
of criminal activities frequently engendered by such businesses will be curtailed;
provided, however, it is recognized that such regulation cannot de facto approach
prohibition; otherwise, a protected form of expression would vanish. As to adult dance
establishments, this chapter represents a balancing of competing interests, reduced
criminal activity and protection of the neighborhoods, through the regulation of adult
entertainment establishments and patrons.
