Councilmember Carlson introduced the following Ordinance establishing an immediate moratorium on the expansion. development or opening of adult entertainment and sexually oriented uses. to continue until Tuesday. - February 27. 1996: 10 2-27-95 INTERIM ORDINANCE N0. 732 AN ORDINANCE FOR PROTECTING THE PLANNING PROCESS AND THE HEALTH, SAFETY, AND WELFARE OF CITY RESIDENTS AND ESTABLISHING A TEMPORARY MORATORIUM ON ADULT ENTERTAINMENT OR SEXUALLY- ORIENTED USES AND SIMILAR USES WITHIN THE CITY The Maplewood City Council approves the following interim ordinance: Section 1. Purpose. _ The purpose of this ordinance is to establish a temporary moratorium on adult entertainment or sexual-oriented uses. Maplewood's zoning ordinance does not contemplate or adequately address the classification of adult entertainment and sexually-oriented uses and other similar uses. The City's zoning ordinance is unclear about whether such uses and other similar uses should be classified as "retail stores," which are permitted uses in the BC (business commercial), BC-M (business commercial modified), SC (shopping center) and M-1 (light manufacturing) zoning districts or whether the City should adopt a new classification or standards for those uses. Besides the proper zoning classification of such uses, there are several significant planning and land use issues about the regulation of such uses, including the following: 1. The particular zoning districts in which the City should allow such uses as either permitted or conditional uses. 2. The concentration and density of such uses in the City and its neighborhoods. 3. The effect of such uses on other uses in the surrounding area. There is a need for City staff to do a study so the City can adopt a set of comprehensive plans and land use zoning regulations about such uses.. Such a study will address the land use and zoning issues, including those referenced above. The study also will address the City's licensing regulations about such uses and the extent to which the licensing regulations require changes to maintain harmony and consistency between the zoning and licensing regulations. As such, there is a need for the City Council to adopt an interim ordinance to protect the planning process and the health, safety, and welfare of the citizens. of the City. This also is to ensure that Maplewood and its citizens keep the benefits of the City's comprehensive plan and zoning ordinance until the City finishes such a study. There is a need to restrict such uses until the City finishes such a study and has adopted any changes to the City's zoning and land use regulations. As such, the Maplewood City Council has directed the staff to do such a study. Section 2. Restrictions. Minnesota Statutes, Section 462.355, Subdivision 4, permits the adoption of interim zoning ordinances during the study and planning process. As such, pursuant to Minnesota Statutes Section 462.355, Subdivision 4, Maplewood shall not allow the expansion, opening or establishment of, or accept applications for, adult entertainment or sexually-oriented businesses. 11 2-27-95 The Report of the Attorney General dated June 6, 1989 and studies conducted by the Cities of Minneapolis, St. Paul and Rochester, have concluded that adult entertainment and sexually-oriented uses can create adverse impacts. Such impacts can include increased crime rates, lower property values, increased transiency, neighborhood blight and decreased stability of ownership. Section 3. Planning and Zoning Study; Moratorium.. The Maplewood City Council authorizes City staff to do a study to decide how the City should regulate such adult entertainment and sexually-oriented uses, and other similar uses within Maplewood. This study should include, but is not limited to, the following: 1. The particular zoning districts in which the City should allow such uses as either permitted uses or conditional uses; 2. The density and concentration of such uses; 3. The effect of such uses on other uses in the surrounding. area; and 4. The need, if any, for changes to the licensing regulations about adult entertainment and sexually-oriented uses and similar uses. Upon finishing the study, the Planning Commission will review the matter and make recommendations to the City Council. As such, Maplewood adopts a moratorium on the expansion, development or establishment of adult entertainment or sexually-oriented uses and other similar uses pending completion of the study and the adoption of any changes to the Maplewood City Code (including the zoning ordinance). The City will not issue a license or a building permit for such uses or for the expansion of any existing use during the moratorium period. In addition, the City will not approve any rezonings, conditional use permits, plattings or replattings, or land divisions or consolidations for-such uses during the moratorium period. For this ordinance, adult entertainment and sexually-oriented uses shall mean all such type uses described in Chapters 19 and 24 of the Maplewood City Code and all other uses of a similar nature characterized by an emphasis on, or have substantial or significant portions of their stock and trade devoted to, the presentation, _ display, depiction or description of "specified sexual activities" or "specified anatomical areas." Such uses include, without limitation, adult book stores, adult car washes, adult entertainment facilities, places with nude dancing, adult novelty stores, adult motion picture theaters and adult mini-motion picture theaters. for purposes of this ordinance, "specified sexual activities" means: 1. Actual or simulated sexual intercourse, oral copulation, anal intercourse, oral- anal copulation, bestiality, direct physical stimulation of unclothed genitals, flagellation or torture in a sexual relationship, or the use of excretory functions in a sexual relationship, and any of the following sexually-oriented acts or conduct: anilingus, buggery, coprophagy, coprophilia, cunnilingus, fellatio, necrophilia, pederasty, pedophilia, piquerism, sapphism, zooerasty; or 2. Human genitals in the state of sexual stimulation, arousal or tumescence; or 3. Use of human or animal ejaculation,. sodomy, oral copulation, coitus or masturbation; or 12 2-27-95 4. Fondling or touching of human genitals, pubic region or pubic hair, buttocks or female breast or breasts; or 5. Situations involving a .person or persons, any of whom are nude, clad in undergarments or in sexually revealing costumes, who are engaged in activities involving the flagellation, torture, fettering, binding or other physical restraint of any such person; or 6. Erotic or lewd touching, fondling or 'other sexually-oriented contact with an animal by a human being; or 7. Human excretion, urination, menstruation, vaginal or anal irrigation; or 8. Any combination of the above. For purposes of this ordinance, "specified anatomical areas" means: 1. Less than completely and opaquely covered human genitals, pubic region or pubic hair, buttock, anus or female breast or breasts below a point immediately above the top of the areola or any combination of the foregoing; and 2. Human male genitals in a discernible turgid state, even if completely and opaquely covered. Section 4. Term. This ordinance shall be effective until February 27, 1996 or whenever the City Council adopts a new ordinance on adult entertainment or sexually-oriented uses. The Council may extend this term if they decide that they need additional time to study a new ordinance and adopt any necessary changes to the City's Code or zoning ordinance. Section 5. Effective Date. This Ordinance is in effect upon adoption by Council. Seconded by Councilmember Koppen Ayes - all 9. Maplewood Relief Association Requested Change in By-Laws a.
