               <span class="ital">Purpose</span>. The purpose of this section shall be to set forth the regulatory licensing requirements
               for adult establishments located within the County. Adult establishments, because
               of their very nature, are recognized as having serious objectionable operational characteristics.
               Studies and experiences have shown that lower property values and increased crime
               rates tend to accompany and are brought about by adult establishments. The Board of
               Commissioners finds that regulation of these uses is necessary to ensure that these
               adverse secondary effects do not contribute to the blighting of surrounding neighborhoods
               and to regulate acts and conditions detrimental to the health, safety or welfare and
               the peace and dignity of the County. Regulation to achieve these purposes can best
               be accomplished by the licensing procedures and standards set forth hereinafter.

               <span class="ital">Provisions</span>. The provisions of this section have neither the purpose nor effect of imposing a
               limitation or restriction on the content of any communicative materials, including
               sexually oriented materials. Similarly, it is neither the intent nor effect of this
               section to restrict or deny access by adults to sexually oriented materials protected
               by the First Amendment, or to deny access by the distributors and exhibitors of sexually
               oriented entertainment to their intended market. This Section represents a balancing
               of the legitimate ends of the community by imposing an incidental, content neutral
               place, time and manner regulation of sexually oriented businesses, without limiting
               alternative avenues of communication, and at the same time, requiring the business
               to carry its share of financing administrative and enforcement activities.
