THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAINT PAUL DOES ORDAIN: Section 1 . The Council of the City of Saint Paul finds and determines that adult uses which feature or provide obscene performances and explicit sexual conduct as entertainment or as a stimulus to commercial pur- poses, including the sale of alcoholic beverages, have a blighting and deleterious effect on neighborhoods, neighborhood institutions and businesses, and the quality of urban life. Studies indicate a corre- lation between the concentrations of adult uses and the higher incidence of crime, diminution in retail trade, decline in property values, and a decline in the quality of surrounding neighborhoods and commercial districts. The provision of explicit sexual conduct and entertainment in such alcohol-related adult uses increases the viability of such uses and a furthering of the undesirable effects on neighborhoods. The purpose of this ordinance is to ameliorate and lessen conditions which promote civil disorder and crime, hinder normal retail trade, adversely affect property values, and contribute to the decline of quality of life in residential neighborhoods and the commercial areas serving those neighborhoods. The commercial exploitation of sexual conduct in adult uses selling alcoholic beverage is found by the Counci� to be a particularly strong factor among all factors contri- buting to the problems decribed. - 1 - COUNCIL MEMBERS Yeas Nays Requested by Department of: Dimond ��g In Favor Goswitz Rettman s�be�ne� Against BY Sonnen ` � Wilson ��_c,-N !c�,'. ,. � .i,� 1�� r;� Adopted by Council• Date �� `''' � `?�� Form Approved by City Attorney Certified Passed by Council Secretary By Z5� � By Approved by Mayor: Date Approved by Mayor for Submission to Council By BY WHITE - CITY CLERK Page 2 Of 2 � PINK � FINANCE GITY OF SAINT PAUL Council /� /j CANARV - DEPARTMENT X .r(� / BLUE -MAVOR File �O. u _/J �• Ordin�n�ce Ordinance N�.
