Sec. 27.01. - Purpose.

(a)

It is the intent of this article to protect the health and welfare of the citizens of the City of Colusa, and to prevent community-wide adverse economic impacts, increased crime, decreased property values, and the deterioration of neighborhoods which can be brought about by the concentration of adult-oriented businesses in close proximity to each other or in proximity to other incompatible uses such as schools for minors, churches, and residentially zoned districts or uses. The city council finds that it has been demonstrated in various communities that the concentration of adult-oriented businesses causes an increase in the number of transients in the area, and an increase in crime, and in addition to the effects described above can cause other businesses and residents to move elsewhere. It is, therefore, the purpose of this article to establish reasonable and uniform regulations to prevent the concentration of adult-oriented businesses or their close proximity to incompatible uses, while permitting the location of adult-oriented businesses in certain areas.

In any district with which is combined any "A-O" district, the regulations of this article shall apply in addition to those hereinbefore specified for such district, provided that if conflict in regulations occurs the regulations of this article shall govern.
