Latest version.
  • (a)

    Definitions. The following words, terms and phrases, when used in this section, shall have the meanings ascribed to them in this subsection, except where the context clearly indicates a different meaning:

    Adult entertainment establishment means establishment as defined in section 16-29.001(3)(e) and also includes any establishment which has nude or seminude dancing or striptease performances, whether these occur regularly or occasionally.

    Distance, notwithstanding the definition contained in section 10-1, shall be measured by straight line from the property line of the adult establishment premises to the nearest property line of the property which is used as a private residence or other uses listed in this section.

    Private residence, in addition to the language contained in section 10-1, also includes apartment or condominium buildings housing more than four families.

    (b)

    Minimum distances from certain uses. No license under this division shall be issued for any adult entertainment establishment which is within 2,000 feet of any private residence, boys' club, girls' club, public park, MARTA station, church or synagogue or any other place of worship, YMCA, YWCA, youth-oriented organization; day care center, child center, library, school ground or college campus, day labor center or hospital. The license issued to such an establishment shall state on its face "adult entertainment permitted." The performance of any adult entertainment without this express permission shall constitute grounds for revocation of an alcoholic beverage license.

    (c)

    Exemptions. The distance requirements in this section shall not apply to locations approved by the bureau of buildings in 1987 for adult entertainment for the purposes of zoning.
