ORD-08-82 URGENCY MEASURE TO PROHIBIT THE INSTALLATION OF CERTAIN DRUGORDINANCE NO. 8- 82 AN INTERIM ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ORANGE ADOPTED AS AN UR-GENCY MEASURE TO PROHIBIT THE INSTALLATION OR ESTABLISHMENT OF CERTAIN DRUG PARAPHER-NALIA STORES AND ADULT ONLY ENTERPRISES AS A BUSINESS.WHEREAS, the U.s. Supreme Court has upheld the constitution-ality of a City regulating the sale of drug paraphernalia and banning the sale of drug paraphernalia to minors in the case of village of Hoffman Estates v. Flipside Hoffman Estates Inc.; and WHEREAS, the experiences of the Orange Police Department and other police departments are that drug paraphernalia stores and adult only enterprises often create conditions which aresociallyunhealthfulandnotinthebestinterestsofthecommunity; and WHEREAS, said enterprises contribute to criminal or anti-social behavior such as drug use, loitering, malicious mischief,disturbing the peace, sex related crimes, and other even more ser ious 0 ffenses; and WHEREAS, said conditions and resulting behavior create an undesirable influence on young children and an adverse impact on surrounding businesses and nearby residential areas; and WHEREAS, the City has received numerous applications to operate such businesses on premises adjacent to occupied residential property, schools and churches; and WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Orange has determined that zoning regulation and land use control is needed to ensure that such use is established only at appropriate locations in the City of Orange; and WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that such use should be established only after conformity with all existing laws and ordinances of the City as well as approval of a Conditional Use Permit in the C- 2 District.NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ORANGE DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: Section I:The City Council of the City of Orange has determined that there is a substantial risk of the establishment of adult only enterprises at the locations near occupied residential property,schools and churches before the Council will have its earliest opportunity to consider fully ordinances regulating the location of such enterprises. Such an ordinance is currently in preparation, and will soon be under consideration by the appro-priate legislative bodies of the City and the burden imposed on adult only enterprise operators, by the enactment of an interim ordinance imposing a moratorium on the establishment of a~ ult only enterprises, will be relatively slight. Therefore, the C1ty Cou~cil finds that during the preparation and consideration ~ f an ordlnance regulating the establishment of adult only enterprlses,an interim ordinance imposing a temporary moratorium is necessary to avoid SUbstantially negating the effectiveness of any proposed amendment to the adult land use ordinance which might be enacted in the near Section II: For purposes of this Ordinance, the following definition shall apply: A.

Section VI I : The reasons for the urgency of this Ordinance are as follows: Business premises offering drug paraphernalia for sale or adults only enterprises have demonstrated to the officials of this Cityandnearbycitiestheproblemswhichcanresultfromthe establishment of such premises at inappropriate locations. The City Council of the City of Orange desires to initiate the enactment of permanent zoning regulations immediately to governtheestablishmentofthistypeofbusinesswithintheCityat appropriate locations. However, the enactment of permanent zoning regulations will consume many weeks, at least, even thoughinitiationofsuchpermanentregulationsisorderedbythe CityCouncilasofthisdate. Numerous requests have been made for such businesses to operate within 100 feet of occupied residences, schools and churches. The danger exists that other persons, firms or en~ities may seek to establish similar businesses prior to the effective date of any permanent zoning ordinance to regulate this type of bUsiness and during the time the Planning Commission and CityCounciloftheCityofOrangeareconductingpublichearings ne~essary to establish a permanent zoning ordinan~e to regul~te sald type of business. Therefore, the City CounCil of the City of Orange finds it necessary to enact this Interim Ordinance as an urgency measure to become effective immediately in order to ensure that the aforementioned businesses are not established in locations which may have an adverse impact on the cornwunity on or after March 16, 1982. 4- Section VIII: If any provision or clause of this section or the applicationthereoftoanypersonorcircumstanceisheldtobeunconstitutional or otherwise invalid by any Court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity shall not affect other section provisions, clauses orapplicationsthereofwhichcanbeimplementedwithouttheinvalid provision, clause or application thereof, and to this end the provisions and clauses of this section are declared to be severable.
