THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EDEN PRAIRIE, MINNESOTA, ORDAINS: Section 1. City Code Chapter 5 is amended by inserting a new Section 5.77 which reads as follows: SECTION 5.77. SEXUALLY ORIENTED BUSINESSES Subd. 1. Purpose and Findings. A. Purpose. The purpose of this section is to prescribe licensing requirements for sexually oriented businesses to protect the public health, safety, and welfare and to prevent criminal activity and the spread of sexually transmitted diseases. B. Findings. The Eden Prairie City Council makes the following findings regarding the effect sexually oriented businesses have on the character of the City's neighborhoods. These findings are based on the experiences of other cities where the businesses are located, as studied by staff. 1. Sexually oriented businesses can contribute to an increase in criminal activity in the area in which such businesses are located, increasing the demands on City crime-prevention programs and law enforcement services. 2. Sexually oriented businesses can be used as fronts for prostitution and other criminal activity. The experience of other cities indicates that proper management and operation of such businesses can minimize this risk. 3. Sexually oriented businesses can increase the risk of exposure to communicable diseases including acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), for which there is currently no cure. Experiences of other cities indicate that such businesses can facilitate the spread of communicable diseases by virtue of the design and use of the premises, endangering not only the patrons of such establishments but also the general public. 4. Sexually oriented businesses can cause or contribute to public health problems by the presence of live adult entertainment in conjunction with food or drink or both on the same premises. 5. A licensing and regulatory scheme as prescribed in this Section can minimize the risk of criminal activity and public health problems and can aid in monitoring sexually oriented businesses for other adverse secondary effects on the community.
