The City Council finds that this Ordinance is necessary in order to preserve <br />the City from the potential secondary effects of adult businesses including crime, the <br />protection of the City's retail trade, maintenance of property values, protecting and <br />preserving the quality of the City's neighborhoods and the City's commercial districts, the <br />protection of the City's quality of life, and the increased threat of the spread of sexually <br />transmitted diseases and the protection of the peace, welfare and privacy of persons who <br />patronize adult businesses. Experience in this City, as well as in cities and counties within <br />and outside California including the County of Los Angeles, the City of Garden Grove and <br />the Cities of Renton, Washington; Seattle, Washington; Detroit, Michigan; Austin, Texas; <br />Indianapolis, Indiana; and Phoenix, Arizona have demonstrated that such uses have <br />objectionable secondary effects upon immediately adjacent residential and commercial areas. <br />The City recognizes and relies upon the experience of these other cities and counties in <br />adopting adult business regulations including the County of Los Angeles (as discussed in <br />Smith v. County of Los Angeles (1989) 211 Cal.App.3d 188); City of Renton, Washington (as <br />discussed in City of Renton v. Playtime Theatres, Inc. (1976) 475 U.S. 41) and the City of <br />Seattle, Washington (as discussed in Northend Cinema v. City of Seattle (1978) 90 Wash. 2d <br />709, 585 P.2d 1153); and the County of Palm Beach, Florida (as discussed in Movie & <br />Video World v. Board of County Commissioners (S.D. Fla. 1989) 723 F.Supp. 695) in <br />support of this Ordinance. The City also recognizes and relies upon the studies done by: (1) <br />the City of Los Angeles in 1977; (2) the 1991 report to the City of Garden Grove by Drs. <br />3 <br />
