Council Member Ujdak then noted that the remainder of the Committee meeting would be devoted to reviewing items related to proposed Bill No. 28-00 which would amend Chapter 4, Section 18.5 of the South Bend Municipal Code regarding adult businesses. Police Chief Larry Bennett then reviewed the calls for services to nine(9)establishments, namely: Glo-worm,Knockers,Little Denmark,Adult Emporium, Torch,Peaches,Kitty Kat, Lipstick Lounge and Caparell's from May of 1999 to May of 2000(copy attached). He also briefly reviewed some of the police incidents for such establishments(copy attached). He noted that a comparison to other bars and taverns was also made with Corby's having 75 calls, Stude's having 105 calls,Moondogs having 45 calls and Pejza's having 75 calls. Council Member Ujdak then directed a series of questions to the Legal Department. He focused initially on the definition of"secondary harmful negative effects". Mr.. Broden noted that it was both a judicial and legislative in nature which has evolved over time. He does not anticipate putting a definition of it in the proposed ordinance. He noted that the 32 land use studies conducted over the past twenty(20)years provides a sound basis. Mr. Mangan noted that increased crime, decreased property values and increased blight were all proper criteria of secondary harmful negative effects. Additionally first hand knowledge of such conditions and the series of articles run in the South Bend Tribune on adult businesses would also be made of record. Mr. Broden stated that the Statement of Purpose and intent would reflect such historical data and therefore a definition would not be necessary. Council Member Kelly noted that the discussion on the secondary harmful negative effects has been ongoing in the community. In response to a question raised by Council Member Kirsits it was noted that the South Gateway area alone have twenty-five(25)vacant buildings, and that many of the properties on South Michigan have been devalued. Council President Pfeifer inquired into how you evaluate increased crime. Mr. Broden noted that the police reports show a high crime rate in these areas over others. He noted that the blueprint is established by the land use studies. The Council Attorney inquired whether a substitute version of Bill No. 28-00 would be forthcoming highlighting the increased crime, decreased property values and increased blight. Mr. Broden stated that a substitute bill would be filed with the Council by the end of the month incorporating such information and how it has affected the quality of life issues as well as the integrity of the neighborhoods. Discussion then took place on the Erie,PA. case which was not a restriction of time case. This case is important in light of its reaffirmation of secondary negative harmful effects and the power of local government to regulate through proper ordinances. Council Member Ujdak asked for a copy of the case for the committee. Health and Public Safety Committe Meeting Minutes of May 10,2000 Page 3
