Article XVI Adult Use District
[Added 10-12-1993 by L.L. No. 7-1993, effective 10-21-1993]
Adult uses, as hereinafter defined, shall be allowable in any M-1 Manufacturing District, subject to the approval procedure set forth in Article X, as well as any additional requirements set forth below, and subject to the licensing requirements of any other applicable local law.
In the execution of this article, it is recognized that there are some uses which, due to their very nature, have serious objectionable characteristics. The objectionable characteristics of these uses are further heightened by their concentration in any one area, thereby having deleterious effects on adjacent areas. Special regulation of these uses is necessary to ensure that these adverse effects will not contribute to the blighting or downgrading of the surrounding neighborhoods or land uses.
It is further declared that the location of these uses in regard to areas where our youth may regularly assemble and the general atmosphere encompassing their operation is of great concern to the Village of Mamaroneck.
These special regulations are itemized in this article to accomplish the primary purposes of preventing a concentration of these uses in any one area and restricting their accessibility to minors.
A drive-in theater that customarily presents motion pictures that is not open to the public generally but excludes any minor by reason of age.
A motel which is not open to the public generally but excludes minors by reason of age or which makes available to its patrons in their rooms films, slide shows or videotapes which if presented in a public movie theater would not be open to the public generally but would exclude any minor by reason of age.
A theater that customarily presents motion pictures, films, videotapes or slide shows that is not open to the public generally but excludes any minor by reason of age.
The adult uses as defined in § 342-109 above are to be restricted as to location in the following manner in addition to any other requirements of this Code:
Any of the above uses shall not be located within a five-hundred-foot radius of any area zoned for residential use.
Any of the above uses shall not be located within a one-half-mile radius of another such use.
Any of the above uses shall not be located within a five-hundred-foot radius of any school, church or other place of religious worship, park, playground or playing field.
The restrictions enumerated in § 342-110 above may be waived by the Board of Appeals if the applicant shows and the Board finds that the following conditions have been met, in addition to the general conditions contained in Article X of this chapter:
The proposed use will not be contrary to the public interest or injurious to nearby properties and that the spirit and intent of this Article will be observed.
The establishment of an additional use of this type in the area will not be contrary to any program of neighborhood conservation or improvement, either residential or nonresidential.
Fifty-one percent or more of the property owners within the restricted area as defined in § 342-110A have signed a petition stating that they have no objection to the establishment of one of the uses defined above.
No more than one of the adult uses as defined above shall be located on any lot.
