Since the adoption of the moratorium on public places of adult entertainment and adult <br /> use businesses, Ordinance No. 2138-96, the City's interim zoning amendments <br /> (Ordinance No. 2144-96) and interim comprehensive plan amendments (Ordinance <br /> No. 2143-96) together with their amendments have been challenged before the <br /> Growth Hearings Board. Additionally, actions concerning the City's adult use policy <br /> and regulatory strategy are pending in both state court and federal court; and . <br /> 2. Said interim zoning regulations and comprehensive plan policies were intended to <br /> protect and provide safety to certain sensitive land uses from the secondary adverse <br /> impacts of adult use businesses; and <br /> 3. On February 19, 1997, the City Council held a public hearing and amended and <br /> finalized the interim emergency measures of the comprehensive plan policies and <br /> zoning regulations related to adult use businesses making them permanent through the <br /> adoption of Ordinance No's. 2203-97 and 2204-97; and <br /> 4. The City receives business inquiries concerning existing regulations relating to sexually <br /> oriented adult entertainment businesses and various licensing and permit applications <br /> relating to such businesses; and <br /> 5. Absent the existence of such adult use zoning regulations and comprehensive plan <br /> policies, the City cannot regulate these businesses and the secondary adverse impacts <br /> of these businesses through the use of separation requirements; and <br /> 6. The secondary adverse impacts of these businesses pose a threat to the public health <br /> and safety; and <br /> 7. Until the City satisfactorily resolves the litigation concerning its adult use regulations <br /> and policies, the City's policy and regulatory strategy is in jeopardy of being <br /> compromised absent the existence of this moratorium; and. <br /> 8. The City Council did hold a public hearing on the moratorium on May 8, 1996, <br /> amended the moratorium by the adoption of Ordinance No. 2145-96 and adopted <br /> findings and conclusions in Resolution No. 4264 and extended the moratorium for an <br /> additional six (6) month period following a public hearing through the adoption of <br /> Ordinance No. 2173-96 and the implementation of a work plan; and <br />
