VICE CHAIRMAN GINN - DIRECTIONS TO COUNTY <br />ATTOR\EY REGARDING AN ORDINANCE PROHIBITING PUBLIC <br />NUDITY <br />Vice Chairman Ginn noted that all the Commissioners received as additional backup <br />a publication from the American Family Association concerning St. Johns County's public <br />nudity ordinance, which has been found to be constitutional by the United States Supreme <br />Court. (Copy placed on file with the backup in the office of the Clerk to the Board.) <br />Although we do have an ordinance that goes into states of undress in establishments serving <br />alcoholic beverages, she thought it did not go far enough to protect Indian River County, <br />as a family oriented community. She urged adoption of a similar ordinance for our county. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Vice Chairman Ginn, SECONDED <br />by Commissioner Adams, to look at St. Johns County's <br />ordinance as a model for adoption in Indian River County, <br />particularly because it has already withstood the Supreme Court <br />review. <br />Under discussion, County Attorney Collins pointed out that we currently have two <br />ordinances that address this issue and the area for opportunity for adult entertainment in our <br />county is restricted by our Land Development Regulations (LDRs) to a very limited area <br />which would not be a viable location for the operator of such an establishment. <br />County Attorney Collins responded to questions of the Commissioners concerning <br />September 23, 2003 <br />47 <br />L. <br />y <br />,�3 <br />
