AN ORDINANCE OF THE COMMON COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA,
AMENDING CHAPTER 4 OF THE SOUTH BEND MUNICIPAL CODE
ENTITLED LICENSING
TO ADD SECTION 4-18 .5
ADDRESSING THE LICENSING OF ADULT BUSINESSES
AND MAKING OTHER CHANGES TO CHAPTER 4
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE AND INTENT
There is convincing documented evidence that sexually
oriented businesses, hereinafter defined and referred to as adult
businesses, due to their nature, have a deleterious effect on their
surroundings, particularly when they are located in close proximity
to each other, contributing to a decline in property values and
quality of life in adjacent areas and contributing to increased
crime, including prostitution, and urban blight .
Located within many adult businesses are enclosed booths
for the viewing of adult-oriented movies, videos, films or other
forms of adult entertainment . It has been found that these types of
viewing booths have been and are being used by patrons for engaging
in sexual acts, including masturbation, intercourse, sodomy, and
oral copulation, resulting in unsafe and unsanitary conditions in
said booths .
The Common Council has considered the effects of the
concentration and operation of adult businesses within the City of
South Bend, has determined the need to establish and reinforce
locational restrictions and in support of the goals of the same to
establish a licensing scheme governing the operation of adult
businesses within the City of South Bend, and has determined the
need to adopt the locational restrictions embodied in Bill 74-95,
considered contemporaneously with this Bill, and the to adopt the
licensing scheme set forth below, in order to combat the
deleterious effect of adult businesses on their surroundings, and
to protect the public heath, safety and welfare.

Linas Slavinskas I am attaching for filing the above-referenced
Fifth District ordinances, which I am filing by title only. I anticipate
filing the full text of each of these ordinances within the
Thomas Zakrzewski next few weeks. It is my desire that the public hearing and
Sixth District council action on these ordinances occur at the Council's
meeting of December 18, 1995.
Sean Coleman
At Large The ordinances are companion ordinances which will
enact zoning and licensing provisions regulating the
Loretta Duda location and operation of adult businesses within the City
At Large of South Bend, to assure the dispersal of these businesses
and to combat negative secondary effects associated with
Eugene Ladewski such businesses.

Your favorable consideration is respectfully

Sincerely,
Lee Slavinskas
