§ 450-68. Intent.

Buildings and establishments operated as adult uses characteristically result in creating a skid-row effect on adjoining properties. Accordingly, in order to prevent deteriorating property values, higher crime rates, traffic congestion and depressed neighborhood conditions in the Town of Newstead and to promote the health, safety and welfare of Town residents, this article is intended to restrict adult uses to nonresidential and nonretail business areas of the Town and otherwise regulate their operation. Furthermore, since the deleterious impact on the community increases when such uses are concentrated, this article also regulates the concentration of such uses.
