It is the purpose of this article to regulate sexually oriented businesses as to promote
the health, safety, and general welfare of the citizens of the county, and to establish
reasonable and uniform regulations to prevent the deleterious location and concentration
of sexually oriented businesses within the unincorporated area of the county. The
provisions of this section have neither the purpose or intent of imposing a limitation
or restriction on the content of any communicative materials, including sexually oriented
materials, or other aspects of constitutionally protected speech. It is not the intent
of the BOCC to legislate with respect to matters of obscenity in this article, as
those matters are regulated by federal and state law, particularly, F.S. Chapter 800
and F.S. Chapter 847. Similarly, it is not the intent or effect of this article to
restrict or deny access by adults to sexually oriented materials protected by the
First Amendment or to deny the distributors and exhibitors of sexually oriented entertainment
access to their intended market. Neither is it the intent or effect of this article
to condone or legitimize the distribution of sexually oriented material.
