HEARING re: Proposed Ordinance Re-Establishing a Moratorium against the Issuance of Permits or Approvals Pertaining to Adult Businesses: Associate Planner David W. Johnson, Department of Community Development (DCD) stated another extension is needed for a moratorium against the issuance of permits or approvals pertainine to adult businesses. County Administrator Morley said the reason for the extension is due to the licensing section of this process is still being drafted. Chairman Austin opened the public hearing for public comment. Joe D'Amico: He believes that Jefferson County needs any business the County can get. It is his understanding that DCD does not issue business licenses and the County is not authorized to issue business licenses so he does not understand why a licensing section would be included in this process. The only license that the County has issued is for the shooting range for the Sportsmen Club. He does not see a huge demand for adult businesses in a retirement community and this process is a waste of time and money. Samuel Clemens (aka Mike Belenski): He would like to know how much time and money has been spent on this issue because it has been going on for six or seven years. What is the big evil the Board is trying to stop? How much money'is spent on newspaper adds on advertising hearings? How much staff time is spent on doing this? Are you tracking what this is costing the County? After six years in office can the Board not make a decision? Could someone tell him what is stopping this issue from going forward? Chairman Austin closed the hearing for public comment. County Administrator Morley stated the issue of adult businesses has been through extensive litigation through out the state and country. It is a mix between free speech rights, public safety and law enforcement. There is a requirement for the County to make provisions in the County Code to assure frequently associated problems like prostitution is not an issue with opening an adult business. Stacie Hoskins, Planning Manager, DCD, said zoning regnlations have been somewhat agreed to and the last step is to finalize the licensing process which is in between the Sheriff's and Auditor's offices. Commissioner Sullivan moved to approve ORDINANCE NO. 03-1024-11 re-establishing a moratorium against the issuance of permits or approvals pertaining to adult businesses. Commissioner Johnson seconded the motion which carried by a unanimous vote.
