<br /> Town and Village of Ellicottville, Cattaraugus County,New York(January 1998),
<br /> the Board of Supervisors finds:
<br /> a. Adult establishments, as a category of commercial uses, are associated with a wide
<br /> variety of adverse secondary effects including, but not limited to, personal and property
<br /> crimes, prostitution, potential spread of disease, lewdness, public indecency, obscenity,
<br /> illicit drug use and drug trafficking, negative impacts on surrounding properties, urban
<br /> blight, litter, and sexual assault and exploitation. Alcohol consumption impairs judgment
<br /> and lowers inhibitions,thereby increasing the risk of adverse secondary effects.
<br /> b. Adult establishments should be separated from sensitive land uses to minimize the
<br /> impact of their secondary effects upon such uses, and should be separated from other
<br /> adult establishments, to minimize the secondary effects associated with such uses and to
<br /> prevent an unnecessary concentration of adult establishments in one area.
<br /> c. Each of the foregoing negative secondary effects constitutes a harm which the County
<br /> has a substantial government interest in preventing and/or abating. Additionally, the
<br /> County's interest in regulating adult establishments extends to preventing future
<br /> secondary effects of either current or future adult establishments that may locate in the
<br /> County. The County finds that the cases and documentation relied on in this resolution
<br /> are reasonably believed to be relevant to said secondary effects.
<br /> The Board hereby adopts and incorporates herein its stated findings and legislative record
<br /> related to the adverse secondary effects of adult establishments, including the judicial opinions
<br /> and reports related to such secondary effects.
<br /> Section 3.29.02 Regulations
<br /> 1. No person shall establish, operate, or cause to be operated an adult establishment in Hall
<br /> County within:
<br /> a. 1,000 feet of another adult establishment;
<br /> b. 500 feet of a business licensed to sell alcohol at the premises; or
