possession, distribution and transportation of
obscene materials, sale or possession of controlled

they tend to attract an undesirable number of
transients, blight neighborhoods, adversely affect
neighboring businesses, lower real property values,
promote the particular crimes described in

businesses to move to other locations.
(f) The establishments in which the activities described
in subsections (a) and (b) occur often are
constructed, in part or in whole, of substandard
materials, maintained in a manner reflecting
disregard for the health and safety of the occupant,

often occur in establishments concurrent with the
sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages.

alcoholic beverages with the activities described in

criminal acti vi ty, unsafe acti vi ty, and disturbances
of the peace and order of the surrounding community.
( i ) The concurrence of the sale and consumption of
alcoholic beverages with the activities described in

to the health and safety of persons in attendance
and further depreciates the value of adjoining real
property, harming the economic welfare of the
4

quality of life, tone of commerce, and community
environment.
(j) In order to preserve and safeguard the health,
safety, property values, and general welfare of the

prior to their being permitted to operate.
(0) Requiring operators of establishments at which the
acti vi ties described in subsections (a) and (b)
occur to keep a list of information concerning
current employees and certain recent 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.
5
(p) Prohibiting establishments at which the activities
described in subsections (a) and (b) occur from
operating within set distances of educational
institutions, religious institutions, residences,
areas zoned or designated for residential use, and
parks, at which minors are customarily found, will
serve to protect minors from the adverse effects of
the activities that accompany such establishments.
(q) Straddle dancing, unregulated private performances,
and enclosed adult booths in establishments at which
the activities described in subsections (a) and (b)
