Re: Environmental Review for Utility Charges
Gentlemen:
Much to my surprise at the Council Meeting on April 6 , 1981
an attorney cited a section of the WAC which requires the
City to do an environmental assessment before passing any
legislation dealing with utility rates . For your information
the Code section is WAC 197-10. 040 (2) (c) (v) .
Therefore, it will be necessary for the Environmental
Review Committee to do the assessment for the water, sewer
and garbage rate increases being considered by the City
Council. We should all keep in mind that this will be
necessary in the future for any utility rate changes .
You should also review the adult entertainment ordinance since
that involves a zoning change.
If you have any questions , please let me know.

Dear Planning Commission Members :
No one wants the subject: "Adult Entertainment Land Uses." (The title should
win a prize for obscure euphemisms. )
I was not surprised that Council referred the matter to you on the off chance
that you would consider it a location/zoning problem. When 'the complaint about
alleged pornographic material in a local store came to my office, I thought,
"Aha ! The Planning Commission has this issue; I ' ll pass it along to them."
You did the appropriate thing, in my opinion, remanding this to the elected
officials . We have the ultimate responsibility to walk that very narrow path
between protecting the public and interfering in their right to make their own
moral decisions.
Wish us luck.
Sincerely,
�Cv-�1Z

RE: ADULT ENTERTAINMENT LAND USES
Dear Council Members:
The Planning Commission received and first considered your referral on
adult entertainment "land uses" at its regular meeting on September 10.
At that meeting, the Commission referred the matter to its Special
Studies Committee for investigation and report back.
The Special Studies Committee initially met with Dan Kellogg, Assistant
City Attorney, who explained the Council's referred item. The Committee 1
members considered various options open to the committee and to the
Commission. After looking at said options, it was unanimously decided
by the Committee to refer the matter back to the full Commission with
the recommendation that the Commission, in turn send the question of
adult entertainment back to the Council for further action as it deems
necessary. The Commission met at its regular meeting of November 12,
and concurred in the Committee's recommendation.
The Commission, at this time, has before it many matters which it feels
are of great importance and urgency. The Commission, therefore, respect-
fully suggests that the referred subject matter could best be handled by
a Council committee and a citizen's committee appointed by the Council
and reporting directly to the Council for the specific purpose at hand.
The Commission also feels that most of the facets involving adult enter-
tainment are not within the purview of the Commission, except perhaps !I
in some later review of the zoning ordinance. The overridingconsensus
is that the Commission is overburdened with priorities which the
Commission feels are in need of immediate action.

The Commission notes that the following pressing physical land use
issues must be studied with the most expeditious speed possible (some
of which obviously require lengthy time and study) :
1. The Northeast Quadrant review of the comprehensive plan
now under way and which will continue for eight or more
months.
2. The Central Area study encompassing the downtown business
district, South Renton, North Renton, Earlington, West
Hill and Skyway, which likewise is under way and will
continue for eight to ten months.
3. The Shoreline Master Plan which, by law, requires periodic
review and update.
4. Review of the Green River Valley comprehensive plan.
5. Review of the comprehensive plan relating to mobile
home parks.

6. Review of the parking and loading ordinance.
7. Review of the PUD ordinance.
As you can see, the Planning Commission schedule is very full. The

On Thursday, Octpber 30, Peggy Scott, a local grandmother, who declined
to give her address or telephone number, called to complain about
pornographic reading matter on open display racks at the Bartell Drug
Store in downtown Renton. Mrs. Scott was particularly concerned
because, since the closure of Austin Rexall Drugs , Bartell 's is the
only drugstore in the downtown core area, thus eliminating any choice
for patrons who would prefer not to shop at an establishment selling
smut.
I assured Mrs. Scott that I would forward her complaint to the
appropriate committee.

Studies Committee for investigation and report back.
The Special Studies Committee initially met with Dan Kellogg, Assistant
City Attorney, who explained the Council's referred item. The Committee
members considered various options open to the committee and to the
Commission. After looking at said options, it was unanimously decided
by the Committee to refer the matter back to the full Commission with
the recommendation that the Commission, in turn send the question of
adult entertainment back to the Council for further action as it deems
necessary. The Commission met at its regular meeting of November 12,
and concurred in the Committee's recommendation.
The Commission, at this time, has before it many matters which it feels
are of great importance and urgency. The Commission, therefore, respect-
fully suggests that the referred subject matter could best be handled by
a Council committee and a citizen's committee appointed by the Council
and reporting directly to the Council for the specific purpose at hand.
The Commission also feels that most of the facets involving adult enter-
tainment are not within the purview of the Commission, except perhaps
in some later review of the zoning ordinance. The overriding consensus
is that the Commission is overburdened with priorities which the
Commission feels are in need of immediate action.

RE: Adult Entertainment Land Uses
November 24, 1980
Page Two
The Commission notes that the following pressing physical land use
issues must be studied with the most expeditious speed possible (some
of which obviously require lengthy time and study) :
1. The Northeast Quadrant review of the comprehensive plan
now under way and which will continue for eight or more
months.
2. The Central Area study encompassing the downtown business
district, South Renton, North Renton, Earlington, West
Hill and Skyway, which likewise is under way and will
continue for eight to ten months.
3. The Shoreline Master Plan which, by law, requires periodic
review and update.
I
4. Review of the Green River Valley comprehensive plan. �I
5. Review of the comprehensive plan relating to mobile
home parks.
6. Review of the parking and loading ordinance.
7. Review of the PUD ordinance. I; I
As you can see, the Planning Commission schedule is very full. The
Commission regrets its inability to handle the Council referral at this
time based on the above urgent priorities.
Respectfully, it

TO: Chairman and Members DATE: .October 30, 1980
of the Planning Commission
FROM: Mayor Shinpoch
On Thursday, October 30, Peggy Scott , a local grandmother, who declined
to give her address or telephone number , called to complain about
pornographic reading matter on open display racks at the Bartell Drug
Store in downtown Renton. Mrs. Scott was particularly concerned
because, since the closure of Austin Rexall Drugs, Bartell 's is the
only drugstore in the downtown core area, thus eliminating any choice
for patrons who would prefer not to shop at an establishment selling
smut.
I assured Mrs. Scott that I would forward her complaint to the
appropriate committee.

Railroad Trusses
The railroad trusses in downtown are all that remain of the entire

powered the electrified switchyard in Renton" is only 25%
correct. Their primary purpose was to support wires to actually
move the locomotives in this case over Stampede pass in the
Cascades. Located across the street from Renton Historical
Museum (Old fire station on Mill Ave. and Houser Way).
Cl Seattle Fountain
Donated by the Renton Volunteer Firemen to the City of Renton

Unfortunately, these have since distintegrated. It was first
located at 3rd Ave. and Main, then at the old city hall. It was left
in disrepair until the firemen relocated it at its present location -
by the old fire station (Renton Historical Museum) across from
City Hall. Nickname: Iron Mike. Artist: Mr. Wien.

is the Ben Cake house in the 400 block of Cedar, upper side.
The home has brick steps - due to its being built by the
Superintendent of the then "Denny-Renton Coal and Clay
Company" currently "Interpace". The home is currently owned
by an architect - and was kind enough to let us list his home. He
does not wish to have his home open to the public, but you may
drive by and see the brick steps, see that it is being restored to
A-1 condition with improvements to retain the original detailing.
Another home built in the late 1800's, in excellent condition is
located on the east side of Cedar Avenue in the 500 block.
Additional homes can be found in the 400 block of Burnett - left
side, dating back to the "coal days" of ;enton. Please allow
these lovely people the right to the privacy they deserve.
Additional old homes which are being used for business
purposes are "STOKES MORTUARY" "FAULL RENTON FUN-
ERAL HOME" and "DAN B. HAUFF & ASSOCIATES which
used to be the McGovern Home, built in the early 1900's.

receive testimony from the public concerning the subject of
regulation of adult entertainment land uses , at which the following '
testimony was received which the City Council believes to be true , and
which formed the basis for the adoption of Ordinance No. 3526 :
1. Areas within close walking distance of single and
multiple family dwellings should be free of adult
entertainment land uses .
2. Areas where children could be expected to walk,
patronize or recreate should be free of adult
entertainment land uses .
3 . Adult entertainment land uses should be located
in .areas of the City which are not in close
proximity to residential uses , churches , parks
and other public facilities , and schools .
4. The image of the City of Renton as a pleasant
and attractive place to reside will be adversely
affected by the presence of adult entertainment
land uses in close proximity to residential land
uses , churches , parks and other public facilities ,
and schools .
5 . Regulation of adult entertainment land uses should
be developed to prevent deterioration and/or
degradation of the vitality of the community before
the problem exists , rather than in response to an
existing problem.
6 . Commercial areas of the City patronized by young
people and children should be free of adult enter-
tainment land uses .
7. The Renton School District opposes a location of
adult entertainment land uses within the perimeters
of its policy regarding busing of students , so that
students walking to school will not be subjected to
confrontation with the existence of adult entertain-
ment land uses .
8. The Renton School District finds that location of
adult entertainment land uses in areas of the City
which are in close proximity to schools , and
commercial areas patronized by students and young
people, will have a detrimental effect upon the
quality of education which the School District is
providing for its students .
9 . The Renton School District finds that education of
its students will be negatively affected by location
of adult entertainment land uses in close proximity
to location of schools .
-2-
10 . Adult entertainment land uses should be regulations
by zoning to separate it from other dissimilar uses
just as any other land use should be separated from
uses with characteristics different from itself.
11. Residents of the City of Renton, and persons who are
non-residents but use the City of Renton for shopping
and other commercial needs , will move from the community
or shop elsewhere if adult entertainment land uses are
allowed to locate in close proximity to residential
uses , churches , parks and other public facilities ,
and schools .
12 . Location of adult entertainment land uses in proximity
to residential uses , churches , parks and other public
facilities , and schools , may lead to increased levels
of criminal activities , including prostitution, rape ,
incest and assaults in the vicinity of such adult
entertainment land uses .
13. Merchants in the commercial area of the City are
concerned about adverse impacts upon the character
and quality of the City in the event that adult
entertainment land uses are located within close
proximity to residential uses , churches , parks and
other public facilities , and schools . Location of
adult entertainment land uses in close proximity
to residential uses , churches , parks and other
public facilities , and schools , will reduce retail
trade to commercial uses in the vicinity , thus
reducing property values and tax revenues to the
City. Such adverse affect on property values will
cause the loss of some commercial establishments
followed by a blighting effect upon the commercial
districts within the City , leading to further
deterioration of the commercial quality of the City .
14. Experience in numerous other cities , including Seattle,
Tacoma and Detroit , Michigan, has shown that location
of adult entertainment land uses degrade the quality
of the area of the City in which they are located
and cause a blighting effect upon the City. The
skid row effect , which is evident in certain parts
of Seattle and other cities , will have a significantly
larger affect upon the City of Renton than other
major cities due to the relative sizes of the cities .
15 . No evidence has been presented to show that location
of adult entertainment land uses within the City will
improve the commercial viability of the community .
16 . Location of adult entertainment land uses within
walking distance of churches and other religious
facilities will have an adverse effect upon the
ministry of such churches and will discourage
attendance at such churches by the proximity of
adult entertainment land uses .
-3-
" r
17 . A reasonable regulation of the location of adult
entertainment land uses will provide for the protection
of the image of the community and its property values ,
and protect the residents of the community from the
adverse effects of such adult entertainment land uses ,
while providin.s; to those who desire to patronize adult
entertainment ...land uses such an opportunity in areas
within the City which are appropriate for location of
adult entertainment land uses .
18 . The community will be an undesirable place to live
if it is known on the basis of its image as the
location of adult entertainment land uses . '
19 . A stable atmosphere for the rearing of families
cannot be achieved in close proximity to adult
entertainment land uses .
20 . The initial location of adult entertainment land
uses will lead to the location of additional and
similar uses within the same vicinity , thus multiplying
the adverse impact of the initial location of adult
entertainment land uses upon the residential , churches ,
parks and other public facilities , and schools , and
the impact upon the image and quality of the character
of the community.
and
WHEREAS , since the adoption of Ordinance i1o . 3526 , it
has come to the attention of the City Council of the City of Renton
that it would be appropriate to set forth in writing the findings
of fact which were the basis for the adoption by the City Council
of Ordinance No . 3526 ; and
WHEREAS , the City Council finds that , in order to choose
the least restrictive alternative available to accomplish the purposes
for which Ordinance No . 3526 was adopted , and in include a severabi.l :iLy, .
. I
clause which was inadvertently omitted from Ordinance No . 3526 , and
to make certain other technical amendments to Ordinance No . 3526 ,
that it is necessary for the City Council to adopt legislation
amending Ordinance No . 3526 to accomplish the foregoing purposes ;
and
WHEREAS , the City Council , at its duly called special
meeting on February 25 , 1982 , held a public hearing upon the subject
matter of land use regulations of adult motion pictures within the
City of Renton, at which public hearing the City Council received
comments from the public on that subject matter at which the following
testimony was received, which the City Council believes to be true ,
-4-
Ii I
and which, together with the findings heretofore set forth as the
basis for the adoption of Ordinance No. 3256 , form the basis for i', ,
iI
the adoption of this Ordinance :
1 . Many parents have chosen the City of Renton in
which to raise their families because of the lack
of pornographic entertainment outlets with its
influence upon children external to the home .
2. Location of adult . entertainment land uses on the
main commercial thoroughfares of the City gives
an impression of legitimacy to , and causes a loss
of sensitivity to the adverse affect of pornography
upon children, established family relations , respect
for marital relationship and for the sanctity of
marriage relations of others , and the concept of
non-aggressive consensual sexual relations .
3. Citizens from other cities and King County will travel
to Renton to view adult film fare away from areas in
which they are known and recognized.
4. Property values in the areas adjacent to the adult
entertainment land uses will decline , thus causing
a blight upon the commercial area of the City of
Renton.
5 . Location of adult entertainment land uses within
neighborhoods and commercial areas of the City of
Renton is disrupting to youth programs such as Boy
Scouts , Cub Scouts and Campfire Girls . Many such
youth programs use the commercial areas of the City
as a historical research resource . Location of adult
entertainment land uses in close proximity to residential
uses , churches , parks and other public facilities and
schools is inappropriate.
6. Location of adult entertainment land uses in close
proximity to residential uses , churches , parks and
other public facilities , and schools , will cause a
degradation of the community standard of morality .
Pornographic material has a degrading effect upon the
relationship between spouses .

in areas of the City which are not in close
,proximity to residential uses , churches , parks
'and other public facilities , and schools .
4. The image of the City of Renton as a pleasant ' , : ' • ti
and attractive place to reside will be adversely;
affected by the presence of adult entertainment
land uses in close proximity to residential land
uses , churches , parks and other public facilities ,
and schools .
5 . : Regulation of adult entertainment land uses should .
.. be developed to prevent deterioration and/or
' - `degradation of the vitality of the community before
the problem exists , rather than in response to an;,
existing problem.
6 . Commercial areas of the City patronized by young
people and children should be free of adult enter-
tainment land uses .'
7 . The Renton School District opposes a location of
adult entertainment land uses within the perimeters
of its policy regarding bussing of students , so that
students walking to school will not be subjected to
confrontation with the existence of adult entertain-
ment land uses .
8. The Renton School District finds that location of
adult entertainment land uses in areas of the City
which are in close proximity to schools , and
commercial areas patronized by students and young
people , will have a detrimental effect upon the
quality of education which the School District is
providing for its students .
9 . The Renton School District finds that education of
its students will be negatively affected by location
of adult entertainment land uses in close proximity
to location of schools .
10 . Adult entertainment land'' uses should be regulated by
zoning to separate it from other dissimilar uses •
,:. ,,just as any other land use should be separated from
" , ; uses with characteristics different from itself:
11• .``Residents of the City of Renton, and persons who' 'are
non-residents but use the City of Renton for shopping ;
and other commercial needs , will move from the community
or shop elsewhere if adult entertainment land uses are
allowed to locate in close proximity to residential
uses , churches , parks , and other public facilities ,
and schools .
12. Location of adult entertainment land uses in proximity
to residential uses , churches , parks and other public
facilities , and schools , may lead to increased levels
of criminal activities , including prostitution, rape ,
incest and assaults in the vicinity of such adult
entertainment land uses .
13. Merchants in the commercial area of the City are
concerned about adverse impacts upon the character
avid quality of the City in the event that adult ,
entertainment land uses are located within close.
proximity to residential uses , churches , parksland:
other public facilities , and schools . Location of ` -
-2- y '
.
adult entertainment land uses in close proximity
to residential uses , churches , parks and other
! public facilities , and schools , will reduce retail
trade to commercial uses in the vicinity, thus
reducing property values and tax revenues to the
City. Such adverse affect on property values will ' ;.:s
cause the loss of some commercial establishments
followed by a blighting effect upon the commercial . ..
' f . . : districts within the City, leading to further
deterioration of the commercial quality of the City . .;
14. Experience in numerous other cities , including Seattle,
Tacoma and Detroit , Michigan, has shown that location
of adult entertainment land uses degrade the quality
of the areas of the. City in which they are located
and cause a blighting effect upon the city . The
skid row effect , which is evident in certain parts
of Seattle and other cities , will have a significantly
larger affect upon the City of Renton than other
major cities due to the relative sizes of the cities .
15. No evidence has been presented to show that location
of adult entertainment land uses within the City will
improve the commercial viability of the community .
16 . Location of adult entertainment land uses within
walking distance of churches and other religious
facilities will have an adverse effect upon the
ministry of such churches and will discourage
attendance at such churches by the proximity of
adult entertainment land uses .
17 . A reasonable regulation of the location of adult
entertainment land uses will provide for the protection
of the image of the community and its property values ,
and protect the residents of the community from the
adverse effects of such adult entertainment land uses ,
.•:'.; . :,. while providing to those who desire to patronize adult.
entertainment land uses such an opportunity in areas` .. '
within the City which are appropriate for location of.'. .
adult entertainment land uses .
. .; , ..:'.` . ,'19 . The community will be an undesirable place to live .
if it is known on the basis of its image as the
location of adult entertainment land uses .
20 . A stable atmosphere for the rearing of families
cannot be achieved in close proximity to adult
entertainment land uses .
21 . The initial location of adult entertainment land
uses will lead to the location of additional and
similar uses within the same vicinity, thus multiplying
the adverse impact of the initial location of adult
entertainment land uses upon the residential, churches ,
parks and other public facilities , and schools , and
the impact upon the image and quality of the character
of the community.

WHEREAS, since the adoption of Ordinance No . 3526 , it
has come to the attention of the City Council of the City of Renton
that itjwould be appropriate to set forth in writing the finding -
.
of .fact. which were the basis- for the adoption by the City Council
of 'Ordinance No . 3526; and
WHEREAS , the City Council finds that, in order to choose
the least restrictive alternative available to accomplish the purposes'-''
for which Ordinance No. 3526 was adopted, and to include a severability.,
clause which was inadvertently omitted from Ordinance No . 3526 , and
to make certain other technical amendments to Ordinance No . 3526 ,
that it is necessary for the City Council to adopt legislation
amending Ordinance No. 3526 to accomplish the foregoing purposes ;
and
WHEREAS , the City Council, at its duly 'called special
meeting on February 25 , 1982, held a public hearing upon the subject
matter of land use regulations of. adult motion pictures within the
City of Renton, at which public hearing the City Council received
comments from the public on that subject matter at which the following
testimony`:was received, which. the City Council believes to,,be' true;
and. .which,;.'together with the findings heretofore set forth : as .the,.` : :,' :
basis , forthe adoption of Ordinance No . 3256 , form the basis' fo`r, ' •
the adoption of this Ordinance :
1 . Many parents have chosen the City of Renton in
which to raise their families because of the lack
of pornographic entertainment outlets with its
influence upon children external to the home .
2 . Location of adult entertainment land uses on the
main commercial thoroughfares of the City gives
an impression of legitimacy to , and causes a loss
of sensitivity to the adverse affect of pornography
upon children, established family relations , respect
for marital relationships and for the sanctity of
marriage relations of others , and the concept of
non-aggressive consenual sexual relations .
•
-4-
3 . Citizens from other cities and King County will travel
to Renton to view adult film fare away from areas in
which they are known and recognized.
4. Property values in the areas adjacent to the adult
entertainment land uses will decline, thus causing
a blight upon the commercial area of the City of
Renton.
5:'`Y Location of adult entertainment land uses within
�`. neighborhoods and commercial areas of the City of . ;.`' :;i,` ,'
Renton is disrupting to youth programs such as Boy ,
Scouts , Cub Scouts and Campfire Girls . Many such :
youth programs use the commercial areas of the City
as a historical research resource. Location of adult
entertainment land uses in close proximity to residential
uses , churches , parks and other public facilities and
schools is inappropriate .
6. Location of adult entertainment land uses in close
proximity to residential uses , churches , parks and
other public facilities , and schools , will cause a
degradation of the community standard of morality .
Pornographic material has a degrading effect upon the
relationship "between spouses .

5 two waterfront parks on Lake Washington, 3 public swimming
6 pools and the Cedar River Trail which includes an existing
7 path for joggers, etc . , and a nature trail along the Cedar

.:13 shopping facilities being divided into four major nodes : the
14 downtown business district along Second and Third Avenues; the
15 Renton Shopping Center located along Rainier Avenue; the Renton

1 Council and its Planning and Development Committee, and in
2 particular the public meeting that was held on March 5, 1981
3 at which time the City Council took comments from interested
4 citizens, educators, clergymen and businessmen on this subject
5 matter.
6
The City Council dealt with the issue of regulation of
? adult entertainment land uses without the influence of a
8 pending adult entertainment land use proposal. The Council
9 considered comments from the land use planning professionals
10 in my office as well as a comprehensive report from the City
11 Attorney' s office relating to the proper scope of land use
12 regulations and experience from other cities . At all times,
'13 the City Council was advised that it was inappropriate to
14 entirely ban adult entertainment land use from the City.
15 After the Committee had concluded its study of the
16 alternatives which were available to the City for regulation
17 of adult entertainment land uses , the Committee sought comment
18 from the general public on the matter at a public meeting held
19 on March 5, 1981 . Sixty-four (64) persons were in attendance,
20 with 28 persons speaking on the issue. In attendance were
21 residents of the city, residents of other areas outside the city
22 who use the City of Renton for shopping and employment, educators,
23 including the Superintendent of the Renton School system,
24 clergymen from churches within the City and the surrounding area,
25 repre,sentatives of the local feminist organization and members
26 of the business and professional community including the Manager
27 of the Greater Renton Chamber of Commerce. The testimony
28
presented to the Committee consistently noted adverse impact
29
upon neighborhoods and businesses within the City of Renton in
30
the event that an adult entertainment land use was situated in
31
close proximity to schools, churches, public or quasi-public

1 buildings, businesses, and residential zones or uses . Numerous
2 speakers, including the Superintendent of Schools, expressed
3 concern about the adverse 'effect caused by children walking past
4 and in the vicinity of adult entertainment land uses on their
5 way to and from school . Several speakers noted that adult
6 theaters and other similar uses are not similar to other commercial
7 activities in that their impact extends beyond the limits of the
8 immediate location. As a result, the general population of the
9 City of Renton is confronted with an intrusion into its life
10 style of an activity over which it may have little control.
11 In effect, even if the general population chooses not to
12 patronize the establishment, the adverse effect upon the community
13still remains . Several speakers commented upon the adverse
14 impacts which adult entertainment land uses would have upon
15
property values within the business and residential community
16
of the City of Renton if such uses were allowed in close proximity
17
to the uses mentioned above. At more than one point speakers
18
noted the deterioration of business and community neighborhoods
19
in the City of Seattle which had recently prompted Seattle to
20
impose location regulations upon adult theaters . The proximity
21
between the location of schools and the location of adult theaters
22
was a point of serious concern to many individuals present. The
23
Renton School District provides bussing service for elementary
24
students whose homes are located more than one mile from the
25
school. That was the basis of the City Council ' s adoption
26
in the ordinance of the one-mile radius from schools . Several
27
speakers noted that they choose to walk to stores, churches or
28
other public services in their neighborhoods as an alternative
29
to driving their car. Later reports to the Committee from my
30
office provided the information that public transit and retail
31
service reports show that the maximum distance the average

1 person will walk to public transit or shopping activities is
2 one quarter mile. This was the basis for adoption of the 1000
3 foot radius from residential, churches, or public and quasi-
4 public uses .
5 The Planning and Development Committee later met to
6 evaluate the comments received at the public meeting and from
7 staff. Their conclusion was that the public had expressed
8 sufficient concern and provided detailed examples from the
9 City of Seattle, Tacoma and other cities to conclude that
10 adult motion picture theaters should be regulated within the
11 City of Renton on the basis of location. The Committee
12 further concluded that the area of most concern to the committee
;13 was the protection and preservation of its residential areas
14 and the accessory land uses such as schools, parks, churches ,
15 and other public and quasi-public land uses .
16 The Planning and Development Committee presented its ,
17 recommendation to the full Council of the City of Renton. The
18 full City Council considered the report of the Planning and
19 Development Committee, including the issues which had been
20 previously raised by the city staff and the public at the public
21 meetings . Based upon the comments, recommandations and debate
22 on the floor of the Committee, the City Council adopted the
23 proposed ordinance on April 23, 1981 as Ordinance No . 3526.
24 The adoption of the ordinance was based upon good zoning
25 principles and was founded upon extensive public testimony
26 and research of such matters of location regulation of adult
27 entertainment land uses . The Council adopted standards for ,
28 location of adult entertainment land uses based upon the
29 express concern that certain types of land use activities,
30 parks, residential neighborhoods, schools and churches would
31 be adversely impacted by adult motion picture theaters . As a

1 result, the Council developed criteria for location of adult
2 theaters in order that they would not improperly and adversely
3 effect the stability of the community of the City of Renton.
4 The location regulations adopted in Ordinance No . 3526
5 do not eliminate the location of an adult theater within the
6 City of Renton. As illustrated on the attached map of the City
7 of Renton, there is approximately 400 acres of land within the
8 City of Renton which does not fall within the location
. 9 regulations. With two exceptions, the property in question is
10 undeveloped. Most of the parcels of property within the 400
11 acres is. appropriately zoned for adult theater use. Furthermore,
12 pursuant to the Comprehensive Plan of the City of Renton, all
13 of the locations are designated as being appropriate for commercial
14 activities, thus paving the way for re-zoning of those. properties
15 which are not presently zoned for adult theater uses .
16 By way of comparison, the ordinance of the City of Seattle
17 which has been upheld by the Washington State Supreme Court
18 provides an area of only 250 acres in the central business
19 district of the City in which adult theaters may be located.
20 The City of Seattle has a total acreage of 56, 320 acres . The
21 area available for adult theaters comprises less than .044% of the
22 total acreage in the City. On the contrary, the City of Renton
23 has a total acreage of 9, 635 acres, with approximately 400
24 acres or 4. 1% of the City' s land area available for development
25 of adult theaters . This is nearly ten times the proportionate
26 area of the City of Seattle. Renton' s population is 7% of Seattle ' s .
27 .
The result of the location regulations set forth in the
28 ordinance is an ordinance which will protect the vitality,
29 economic health and business welfare of its citizens from
30 adverse effects of adult theater uses, without prohibiting the
31
rights of its citizens to patronize such theaters if the uses

TO: Barbara Y. Shinpoch, Mayor
Members of Renton City Council
FROM: Daniel Kellogg, Assistant City Attorney
RE: Playtime Theaters , Inc.: vs City of Renton
Dear Mayor and Members of City Council:
We enclose for your infqrmation copies of the Affidavits of
David R. Clemens and Gary Kohlwes and our Defendant 's Memorandum
in Opposition to Motion for Temporary Restraining Order and
for Preliminary Injunction, all of which we have filed in the
Federal Court before Magistrate Sweigert January 27, 1982 .
The Summons and Complaint were served upon the Mayor's office
late Friday and delivered to our office on Monday. However,
even before the papers were delivered to our office, representa-
tives of the Federal Magistrate's office had called and imposed
a Friday, January 29, 1982 hearing date on Mr. Forbes ' motion
for temporary restraining order against the City. Furthermore,
the Magistrate had ordered that any responsive brief or other _
matter on behalf of the City should be filed by Wednesday,
January 27, 1982.
Frankly, we have exerted a monumental effort in this office
involving all four lawyers at one time or another in order to •
respond to the Court 's time schedule. Even so, we have every
confidence that more legal research will be required in preparation
for future hearings and/or trial of this matter.
The hearing on Friday is for the purpose of considering the
Plaintiff's motion for a restraining order to temporarily restrain
the City from. enforcing its ordinance. The next procedural step
will he to consider the Plaintiff's motion for a preliminary
injunction to replace the restraining order. The temporary
injunction, if granted, will restrain the enforcement of the City's
ordinance pending trial of this matter. At the trial the Court
will determine whether a final injunction should be entered.
Mr. Forbes is also requesting relief by way of a Declaratory
Judgment as to whether the ordinance is constitutional, and for
damages and attorney's fees for deprivation of his civil rights
under 42 USCA 1983.
We wish to advise you all, on a confidential basis , that we
view the prospect of success on the temporary restrainer and
preliminary injunction to be remote at best . In view of the
Court ' s jealous concern over First Amendment rights , we view it
to be a virtual certainty that the Court will grant the temporary
relief requested and allow Mr. Forbes to exhibit his adult movies
pending a determination of the case on its merits . By way of an
example, the City of Seattle was restrained pending a trial.
The City prevailed on the merits at trial and upon appeal, was
once again restrained by the Supreme Court pending the outcome
of the appeal even though they had prevailed at the trial court.
The prospect of our ordinance being held invalid on its merits
is very conceivable. Of course, we cannot predict with any
certainty how the trial court will view our Ordinance since it
is essentially a hybrid concept between the disperal theory
and the concentration theory. Furthermore, our inspection of
cases that have been decided over the past •nine months since
the ordinance was adopted, indicates a strong tendency on the
part of the Federal District Courts to distinguish the case
of Young vs American Mini Theaters upon which we are so strongly
relying, and to strike down various zoning strategies which
the Cities have used in an attempt to regulate these uses .
We anticipate the issues at trial to be whether the interests
which the City was attempting to protect are defined carefully
enough by the ordinance which has been adopted. If the ordinance
is overbroad (in the rather subjective judgment of the Court) and
goes beyond the absolute minimum restrictions necessary to
attain the City's objective, then the ordinance will be held to
be invalid as a violation of the due process clause and the
First Amendment.
Since the ordinance was adopted, the United States Supreme Court
has decided the case of Shad vs Borough of Mt. Ephraim. The
Shad case should never have been decided by the Supreme Court.
In Shad, the City attempted to regulate First Amendment expression
by construing zoning codes which did not have an allowed land
use of "live entertainment" so that adult entertainment enter-
prises which employed nude dancing were illegal uses , even though
� I
their principal use was legal. The Supreme Court had no
difficulty in ruling that the ordinance was unconstitutional
and struck it down with only two dissents . This decision can.
be argued to stand for the position that a regulation that
tends to exclude First Amendment rights from the entire town
will be held unconsitutional even though such uses are avail-
able in the County surrounding the town. Therefore, since our
ordinance clearly proscribes the location of adult uses in the
three existing theater buildings in the City of Renton, Mr .
Forbes is arguing that our ordinance effectively forces, him to
place his theater outside of town, or at least to endure the
added expense and inconvenience of constructing his theater in
a remote and perhaps inaccessible area of the town. If this
requirement is imposed simply because of the content of his
films , then it is suspect.
Needless to say, we consider ourselves to be in a real battle
over this ordinance. It is our intention to bring to you a
proposal for association of counsel with expertise in the area
of First Amendment litigation in order to assure that the
ordinance receives the strongest defense that is possible under
the unique facts presented by our City.
One of the easiest ways in which Mr. Forbes can prevail is if
the impression is left that it was the intention of the City to
regulate the content of the films which are shown within the
City of Renton. The only reason that we may regulate First
Amendment press material at all is that in some cases such
material has a secondary impact which is undesirable and which
justifies such regulation. Therefore, it is important that
each of you be certain that your public comments are not construed
to leave an -impression other than that the City is attempting to
regulate adult theaters solely because of the negative impacts
which we believe these land uses have to the quality and character
of our neighborhoods , schools , churches , or other public and quasi
public land uses . We want to particularly remind you that the
proceedings of the City Council are recorded and are subject to
review by an interested litigant.
We would urge each of you to keep this communication confidential
under the attorney-client privilege.

CONFIDENTIAL
TO: Planning and Development Committee
FROM: Lawrence J. Warren, City Attorney .
RE: Exclusionary Distance on Adult Entertainment Zone
Gentlemen:
It is my understanding that the Committee has recommended i
a one mile distance from any schools . I have some problem
with that distance , particularly when you consider the
locations of the various schools in Renton.
It is certainly reasonable to exclude an adult entertainment
use, from the immediate vicinity of a school, church, single
family residence zone, public area, public use zone, etc.
However, that distance must be reasonable and should not
be strictly exclusionary. My feeling is that a Judge would .
find a mile to be exclusionary. If such a finding was made
the Judge would invalidate the ordinance as being a prior
restraint of public speech.
The concept is legally supportable, I only question the
distance suggested by. the Committee . Of course, this opinion
is advisory only and the Council itself is the ultimate
decision maker. However , I thought you would like my
thoughts before the final draft of the ordi ce w s presented.

WHAT DID THE CITY COUNCIL KNOW, AND WHEN DID THEY KNOW IT?
The Renton City Council has made every effort to base its "adult entertainment
land use" regulations on strong zoning principals. Zoning attempts to develop4
a variety of land use activities and allocate their location on the basis of
community , values, perceptions, and the public health, safgty and welfare.
1 It is gener4lly accepted that certain types of land uses should be separated into*
catagories that ,logic lly fit64-se
' �afferent��eo raphical4 locations within, the
community. Rd.ential usesATar
grscc1 rom indpgtrial uses, and vit i's rio�
ov
types of commercial and public service activitieservia as separations and
connections ear between home and work.
Within each of these catagories lie a myriad of uses which are visualized by the
community in a variety of ways. A fat rendering plant, or sAughter house may
be logically regulated as to its lo6ation4 due to its obno .ous odors, or other .001
reasons. Likewise, certain types of residential uses, cly•multiple family,
are typically sepaikted from single family uses due to land use intensity, traffic,
public service or utility reasons. Finally, temmercial uses of varitds types may
be catagori_ ed as appropriate in ont location4, and not in another.
The basic question in any land use issue is, "Is the activity appropriate here?"
That is, does this residential use fit logically with 4hother residential use, _
' or commercial activity? Or, does this industrial use adversely effect thbs neighbo
hood? The answ these questions lies in the evaluation of the communities
fill
desires, goals knd policies, and .aggi. measurement of the p lic sentiment pro or con.
A
ad//eafr,arm►,/`141
In this specific case, the Renton City Council attempted to deal withehtre issues
in the context of a general community desire, totally void of the influence of a
pending or existing case. The City Council chose to evaluates the communities L
1llut at T
esi_ es, concerns , and refe ence 1-as it related to and �:m which xm a vac. Q
In all phases of the Coung4 evaluation,
no specific case Ewa considered, no specific location was identified as a target y
ild
for eli_minationg,�no act'vi_ty was s t forth as straw man for dell4te. =�
The Council's Planning and Development Committee initially recommended that the
matter be refered4 to the Planning Commission for review and recommendation, After
a report from the planning Commission as to its worklaod, and available time, the
Committee chose to proce ith its independent analysis. The Committee held
i
'
page 2
several meeting with its staff to evaluatelthe available courses of action open
to them. Nume u studiesp dreports from other public agencies related to the
problemfed this type of land use were considered, along with the approaches taken
by those agencies to regulate the location of those use?', -14n all oaaeo, thc-
, . It was clear that a total ban on the freedoyS( of
this aspect of expression would be both inappropriate and probably illegal.
-VIA'
,
Once the available approaches were evaluated, the Committee roquootce. input from
the general public on the nature of their concerns and .detires related to
adult entertainment land uses. 'F,4 meeting held on March 5th, 198 was opened
with a discussion of the Committee's approach, and deasired input form the
audience. To quate from the opening statement, thq Committee had "(T)his subject
matter under stuzy ----for most of the* past year.* Further, "(T)his is the
third public meeting --- held to recieve information from citizens as to their
desires on the subject---" .
"The Committee has been charged --- with the responsibility of making a
recommendation as to what regulations should exist ---." "It will be helpful
if members of the audience will address their remarks to the issue of the type
of adult entertainment which --- are appropriate --- and --- the proper lotion --."
"(c)omments concerning the affects upon the community and .,---(its)--- consituents
---- will be appreciated." '
In attendence at this meeting were 64 persons e�i--she � rnm_ arm
Of the 64- in attendence, 28 pers��o,,��,n, s spoke
on the issue. Constant in the testimo y was a concern on the part ofAr�iden p,
o le 'ar]ul entertainment land uses have and impact
educat�s, and local business pep � t t p
upon children, the family and the relative quality and stability of residential
neighborhoods. Further, testimony was given that adverse impacts can be expected ,
on neighboring commercial uses business activity, and adjoining property vatues.
Several persons noted that such activity would adversely impact education, and
moral upbringing available to youth inyhe community.
Consistantly, these who spoke raised questions about the advisability of locating
uses of this type in the .proximate to residential activity, public or quasi-public
buildings or places, andAparticular schools Numerous speakers, including the

Superintendent of Schools expressed concern about the potential adverse effects
of children walking past or in the vicinity of adult entertainment land uses.
One speaker summed up many of the concerns expressed by noting that adult theaters
and similar uses are not similar to other commercial activities. This type of
uses extends its impact beyond the meer limits of its immediate location. As a
result, the public is faced with an intrusion into its
festyle of an activity
over which it may have littig, control. In effect,44the public tarn.
choosenot to patronize the establishment, and Sill have the adverse effects
remain.
1
During the courbe of the discussion, adverse impacts upon neighborhoods were
often expressed. The impact upon businesses, and p )perty values were stated
several times, with the ultimate concern being expressed as to the future value
of surrounding residential neighborhoods. At Iiiiie,than one point, the speaker
noted declines in4eattle neighborhoods which prompted Seattles regulations on
the location of adult entertainment land uses.
, At least one speaker expressed outrage at the possiblity that Renton could be
faced with the well domumented proble that the City of Boston facet, in �s
so/called "court 4one." The speaker noted recent television corage of the
costs to local businesses in the area, and in particular the impact on the public
safety budgets for the City of Boston to deal with the problem of secondary crime
and sexual activity* within the vicinity of adult entertainment land uses.
As previously noted, the audience expressed conetrn about the proximate of
these types of activities to existing land uses. Schools were expressed often
as a point of cencern. Due to the School Districts policy related to school
bussing only be$on4 a mile from the school, OeVeral persons noted that children
of all ages could be faced with walking past businesses of this type— 4.
twice a day to and from school. , a
•
. As a result, it was suggested that the

emphasis on the proximate.to residential areas of a variety of commercial and
public/quasi-public activity. More than one speaker noted that they typically J
chose to walk to the store or church as an alternative to n cs / .nf ;using dn'wy"
�2Ir� all cases, the speakers noted that they shopped or worshiped
within a of home. In later discussion between the committee and
staff, the Committee found that seleral rblic transit and retail sales reports
suggested approximately one quater mile as the maximum distance the
average person will walk to pursue transit or his flopping activity.
The March 5, 1981 public meeting was summed up by the Chamber of Commerce
!Pler who suggested that the public had provided a sound basis upon which
the Council should seek an appropriate use of .11,2 zoning ordinancc to regulate
the location of adult entertainment land use. He reiterated the leggested c 'iteria
of one mile from a school, and suggested that the communities interest would be
' well servied by regulations that protect the families, neighborhoods and business
already serving present.

of the committee was that the public had expressed sufficient concern, and
detailed enough examples from the cities of Seattle, Tacoma and other 2°o
to conclude that this type of activity should be regulated as to its location.
2) What type of regulation is appropriate? Based upon the testimony presented

The Planning and Development committee's recommendation was heard by the ., . 1 City
Council on . During the discussion on the matter, all of the
issues that were previously raised by staff and the public were discussed and
evaluated. The Council adopted the Committees recommendation in Ordinance WO.
T}e Council's action,* was based upon good zonfq principals, and was founded
upon extensive public testimony. The Council chose to set standards for the
location of adult entertainment land uses based upon the expressed concern that
certain types of land use activities, particularly residential neighborhoods,
schools, churches and parks, could be adversely 0 impacted by adult theaters. As
a result, the Council sought to determine cirteria for locating adult theaters
in such a manner that they would not improperly impact these uses, and ultimately
adversly Affect the nature and stability of the community. In each case, the
Council concluded that the most probable cause for a3catx concern was the potential
for children and adults walking in the vicinity of these uses. In the case of
is hkesparks, and similar public places, they are visited by person walking from
the ' homes if they are within about 1/4th mile. Schools, on the 0 , er hand, may
have children walking foom as far as one mile, corresponding to th7school districts
policy on bussi, beyond that distance,e ty.
•
As illustrated on the attached map, the Council's action does not eliminate the
location of adult entertainment land uses fr�omm the community. On the,,Contrary,
a variety of lacations are provided. With 4e exception the propeK in question
is undeteloped. Further, the City's Comprehensive Plan 1trates each of these
locations as being appropriate for commercial activity. In most cases, the existinj
zoning of the property in question would allow acax theaters as permitted uses without
any other zoning permit required.
The City of Seattle, Washington established a 250 acre zone in its central business
area as appropriate for adult entertainm-nt land uses. The City of Renton, Washington
likew46e has established approximately — acres mckx as being appropriate for this
type of activity. As compared to the City of Seattle with its 500,000+ population,
the City of Renton with a population of approximately 33,000 has set aside a far
4 k *
page 6
greater portion If its community to the potIntial location of these types of uses.
' The result is an ordinance which attempts to protect the vitality, safety, ecomomic
health and public welfare of its citizens while protec'jtng the rights of its citizens
to patOnize addlt entertainment land uses if they choose to locate within the
community.

This meeting of the Planning and Development Committee of .
' the Renton City Council is being held for the purpose of review of
;.nj
the subject of adult entertainment land uses within the City of
Renton. This subject matter has been under study by this Committee
for most of the past year. In that connection, we have reviewed
alternative means of regulating adult entertainment uses throughout
the nation and the State of Washington. This is the third public
meeting the Committee has held to receive information from citizens
as to their desires on the subject of adult entertainment uses within
the City of Renton.
The Council is not aware of any particular application for
adult entertainment business within the City of Renton. This is
not a rezoning hearing . The Committee has been charged by the City
Council with the responsibility of making a recommendation as to
what regulations should exist within the City of Renton concerning
adult entertainment business uses .
Since the Committee is receiving input from citizens in
the community , it is not our desire to engage in a discussion of
the legal limitations to which the Committee can go in regulation
of such uses . This is a delicate question involving constitutional
rights , freedom of expression vs questions of public morality .
It will be helpful if members of the audience will address
their remarks to the issue of the type of adult entertainment which
they feel are appropriate to be placed in the City of Renton, if any ,
and the proper location and regulation of those entertainment uses , I;
i
if any. Your comments concerning the affects upon the community
and the various constituents of the community (for example, schools ,
' churches , homes , businesses , families , etc. ) will be appreciated.
I
1S
The Cou,iiiittee will carefully consider any information
which is transmitted to it by members of the community , whether oral
or in writing, before making a recommendation to the City Council
concerning what regulations , of any, should be applied to adult
entertainment uses within the City of Renton.

1 The Ordinance was adopted by the City Council after
2 considerable study of the planning for and preservation of
3 the character of its neighborhoods . A more detailed
4 description of the procedure under which the City Council and
5 its committee reviewed these matters , and the material which
6 it considered in reaching its conclusion to adopt the
7 Ordinance is more particularly set forth in the Affidavits of
8 David R . Clemens and Gary F. Kohlwes , dated January 27 , 1982
9 and filed herein .
10 C. PRESENT CONTROVERSY: Plaintiffs assert a contract
11 interest in the purchase , leasing and operation of two
12 theater buildings located within the City of Renton .
13 Pursuant to the allegations of the complaint on file herein ,
14 Plaintiff Kukio Bay Properties , Inc . , asserts that it will
15 close the purchase agreement for the theaters on or about
16 January 26 , - 1982 , taking immediate possession , and that it
17 will on or about January 27 , 1982 lease the theaters to
18 Plaintiff Playtime Theatres , Inc . , for the purpose of
19 conducting therein , on or after January 29 , 1982 , feature
20 length motion picture films for adult audiences . Plaintiffs
21 admit (see Plaintiffs' Memorandum in Support of Motion for
22 Preliminary Injunction , page 9 , line 27) that the activities
23 contemplated by the Plaintiffs as mentioned above are such as
24 will fall within the prohibitions of the Ordinance .
25 The Defendants have' asserted the validity of the
26 Ordinance and intend , in the event of a violation thereof, to

4 II . LEGAL ARGUMENT
5 A. TEST FOR ISSUANCE OF INJUNCTIVE RELIEF:
6 Federal Courts must proceed with caution and restraint
7 in considering a facial challenge to the constitutionality of
8 an ordinance . Erznoznik v . City of Jacksonville , 422 U . S.
9 205 , 216 , 95 S.Ct . 2268 , 2276 , 45 L.Ed . 2d . 125 ( 1975) .
10 Failure of the court to proceed with caution and restraint
11 may result in an invalidation of an ordinance which " . . .may
12 result in unnecessary interference with a state regulatory
13 program. In accommodating these competing interests the
'14 Court has held that a state statute should not be deemed
15 facially invalid unless it is no.t readily subject to a
16 narrowing construction by the state courts , see Dombrowski v .
17 Pfister , 380 U.S. 479 , 497 , 85 S.Ct . 1116 , 1126 , 14 L. Ed . 2d .
18 22 ( 1965) , and its deterrent effect on legitimate expression
19 is both real and substantial . See Broadrick v. Oklahoma , 413
20 U.S. 601 , 612-615 , 93 S.Ct. 2908 , 2915-2917 ( 1973) . See
21 generally Note , The First Amendment Overbreadth Doctrine , 83
22 Harv. L. Rev. 844 ( 1970) ."
23 See also Reeves v . McConn , 631 F.2d . 377 , 383 (5th Cir .
24 1980) .
25 Plaintiff asserts that the Federal Court should hasten
26 to grant injunctive relief, citing Dombrowski v . Pfister
27 supra . The Dumbrowski case involved claims by an
28 organization and individuals which were active in fostering
29 civil rights for blacks in Louisiana and sought declaratory
30 and injunctive relief from prosecutions, or threats thereof,
31 for alleged violations of the Lousiana Subversive Activities
32 and Communist Control Law and the Louisiana Communist

1 Propaganda Control Law. As stated so eloquently by Chief,
2 Justice Burger in Schad v . Borough of Mt . Ephraim, U.S.
3 , 101 S.Ct. , 68 L.Ed . 2d . 671 , 692 ( 1981 ) , to draw
4 an analogy between the fundamental values which Dombrowski
5 sought to protect and the fundamental values claimed in this
6 case tends to trivalize and demean the First Amendment to the
7 U. S. Constitution .
8 As will be more particularly shown , the Ordinance is not
9 facially invalid for vagness or overbreadth , but is a
10 reasonable regulation of the place in which "adult motion
11 picture theaters" may be located within the City of Renton .
12 The Ordinance has only an incidential effect upon the
13 exercise of First Amendment liberties within the City of
.14 Renton . As such , it is not an impermissible restraint on
15 free speech . Furthermore , the .ordinance does not involve a
16 taking of property without due process since it will be shown
17 that the Plaintiffs have caused their own damage by
18 purchasing' and leasing the theaters with full knowledge of
19 the enactment of the Ordinance complained of . As in
20 Wigginess , Inc . v . Fruchtman , 482 F . Supp 681 ( S . D . N . Y .
21 1979) , affirmed by unpublished opinion , 628 F.2d 1346 ( 1st
22 Cir . 1980) , cert . den . 449 U.S. 842 ( 1980) , Plaintiffs here
23 have failed to establish that they will suffer irreparable
24 injury from the denial of the provisional injunctive relief
25 requested . No competent evidence . is presented to support -
26 Plaintiffs ' conjecture as to injury . "Unsubstantiated
27
allegations of injury cannot provide the basis for
28 establishing the irreparable harm required for an injunction
29 to issue." Wigginess ,gginess , supra , at 692. Therefore , being able
30 to show no irreparable injury, Plaintiffs have not satisfied

2 Piano & Organ Co. , 604 F.2d 755 , 758 (2nd Cir . 1979) , and are
3 not entitled to injunctive relief.
4 B. THE ORDINANCE IS NOT INVALID ON ITS FACE OR AS
5 APPLIED : Plaintiffs allege that the Ordinance is
6 unconstitutional on its face and as threatened to be applied
7 against them and therefore deprives ' the Plaintiffs of Due
8 Process and Equal Protection of the Law by reason of alleged
9 ."vagueness" , "overbreadth" , and "deprivation of liberty
10 and/or property interests" of the Plaintiffs .
11 1 . Vagueness : First of all , Plaintiffs appear to
12 have abandoned the argument that the Ordinance is
13 unconstitutional because of vagueness for the purpose of the
14 instant motion . The vagueness of the Ordinance alleged in
15 the plaintiffs ' complaint is nowhere argued in Plaintiffs '
16 Memorandum in Support of Motion for Preliminary Injunction .
17 In any event , Plaintiffs have admitted that their proposed
18 operations will fall within the scope of the definitions set
19 forth in the Ordinance . Therefore , Plaintiffs have no
. 20 standing to litigate the issue of vagueness . Young v.
21 American Mini Theaters , Inc . , 427 U. S. 50 , 61 , 96 S.Ct. 2440 ,
22 2447 , 49 L.Ed. 2d. 310 ( 1976) , rehearing denied 429 U .S. 873 ,
23 97 S.Ct . 191 ( 1976) . The theater owners in Young claimed
24 vagueness on its face and as applied . The Supreme Court was
25 not persuaded . It held that the ordinance was . not
26 unconstitutional for vagueness as applied to the theater
27 owners because they indicated they proposed " . . . to offer
28 adult fare on a regular basis ." At 61 . Therefore , they were
29 not affected by any element of vagueness . See also Hart
30 Bookstores, Inc . v. Edmisten , 612 F. 2d . 821 , 833 (4th Cir .

1 Plaintiffs have attempted to advance vagueness
2 arguments on behalf of others under the so-called doctrine of
3 "vic,arious standing" . In Young , supra , the Supreme Court
4 held that the case was not appropriate for adjudication of
5 hypothetical claims of others because the court was not
6 persuaded the ordinance would have a " . . . significant , '
7 deterrent effect on the exhibition of' films protected by the
8 First Amendment" , there being a " . . .less vital interest in
9 the uninhibited exhibition of material that is on the
10 borderline between pornography and artistic expression than
11 in the free dissemination of ideas of social and political
12 significance , and since the limited amount of uncertainty in
13 the ordinances is easily susceptible of a narrowing
14 construction . . . ." at 61 .
15 Following Young, Genusa , supra , held that the
16 doctrine of "vicarious standing" was not without limits .
17 Article III case or controversy requirements must be
18 satisfied . In addition to the requirement in Young that the
19 doctrine not be applied if the challenged ordinance is
20 subject to a narrowing construction by the State courts , and
21 is not so vague or overbroad that there exists a "real and
22 substantial" possibility that the existence of the ordinance
23 may cause persons other than the plaintiffs to refrain from
24 engaging in protected expression . Genusa , supra , at 210 .
25 The definitions of "adult motion picture theater" ,
26 "specified sexual activities" and "specified anatomical
27 areas" as set forth in the Ordinance are virtually identical
28 with the definitions before the Supreme Court in Young.
• 29 There the Supreme Court stated , in the majority opinion
30 authored by Justice Stevens , that there was no reason why the
31 ordinances in question were not " . . . readily subject to the
32 narrowing construction by the State courts" . At 61 . The

1 exception for assertion of "vicarious standing" did not III
2 prevail in Young because the Court determined that the
it
3 ordinance in question would not have a significant deterrent
4 effect on exhibition of films protected by the First
5 Amendment . As will be shown in greater detail later in this �!
6 brief, Defendants maintain that this same holds true in the
II
7 instant case . Therefore , having no standing to raise this
8 issue for others , and there being no vagueness as to the I "

11 • 2. Overbreadth : Plaintiffs complain that the i,jl
12 Ordinance is overbroad in the definition of " specified
13 anatomical areas" and "specified sexual activities" . This jl

15 the Supreme Court reviewed the circumstances in which claims

II
26 Ordinance does not regulate the time or manner of expressive
27 or communicative conduct . It only pursues the lawful and . I
28
necessary aim of the City of Renton to plan for and regulate
29 the use of property within the City of Renton . No official
30 approval is required and therefore no standardless
31
discretionary power exists . In any event , it is proper to

D. THE ORDINANCE IS A REASONABLE REGULATION OF THE , 'I
8 PLACE WHERE PROTECTED SPEECH MAY OCCUR AND IS NOT AN
9 IMPERMISSIBLE PRIOR RESTRAINT ON FREE SPEECH : Under the
10 doctrine set forth in the plurality majority opinion in
11 Young , supra , at 62 , there is no doubt
12 " . . .that the municipality may control the location of ii
theaters . . . . The mere fact that the commercial
13 exploitation of material protected by the First
Amendment is subject to zoning and other licensing
14 requirements is not a sufficient reason for invalidating
these ordinances . The city' s interest in planning
15 and regulating the use of property for commercial
purposes is clearly adequate to support that kind of it
16 restriction applicable to all theaters within the City
limits . In short , apart from the fact that the
17 ordinances treat adult theaters differently from other
theaters and the fact that the classification is
18 predicated on the content of material shown in the
respective theaters , the regulation of the place where
19 such films may be exhibited does not offend the First
20 Amendment . Reasonable regulations of the time , place
and manner of protected speech , where those regulations
21 are necessary to further significant governmental
interests , are permitted by the First Amendment . Young ,
22 at 62-63 , and Footnote 18 (citations omitted) .
23 As shown in the evidence before the Court and under
Young , the City of Renton has a clear interest in planning
24
for and regulating the use of property within the City of
25
Renton . The evidence before the Court is clear that the City
26
Council considered substantial and persuasive evidence upon
27
which to base their reasonable locational regulation was
28
adopted. As in Young, the Ordinance does not place a limit
29
upon the total number of adult theaters which can operate
30
31 within the City of Renton , it does not deny exhibitors access
to the market , and it does not inhibit the viewing public

1 from seeking out this type of entertainment . As in Young ,
2 the market for such material within the City of Renton is
3 essentially unrestrained since , as set forth in the evidence
4 before the Court , there is ample area within the corporate II
5 limits of the City of Renton within which an exhibitor may 41
6 operate, and the viewing public may seek this form of
7 entertainment . The Ordinance makes no attempt to dissuade or '
8 restrict exhibitors or the viewing public from utilizing lil
9 adult motion picture films and certainly does not attempt to
i
10 censor the motion pictures themselves or impose any
11 limitation on their content . •
12 Plaintiffs claim that the effects of the Ordinance upon
13 their First Amendment rights are immediate and direct in that
Id
14 the Plaintiffs cannot operate their movie theater without
15 subjecting themselves to violation of the Ordinance. This is
16
simply not the case .
17 First of all , and most importantly, there is ample
18 opportunity for the Plaintiffs to exhibit their films , 1I
19 assuming that the films are pornographic and not obscene , in
20 the areas of the City which are not effected by the narrowly
21 drawn regulations of the Ordinance . Plaintiffs allege that
22 they will have invested $800 ,000 .00 in the purchase and
23 equipping of the subject theaters . There are numerous
24 existing buildings , as well as vacant parcels of land within
25 the corporate boundaries of the City of Renton and outside of
26 the areas covered by the Ordinance , on which the Plaintiffs •
27 could establish their theaters . As stated by Justice Powell
.28 in concurring in Young',
29 "the constraints of the ordinance with respect to
30 location may indeed create economic loss for some who
are engaged in this business but in this respect they
31 are effected no differently from any other commercial
enterprise that suffers economic detriment as a result
32 of land use regulation. , The cases are legion that

damage. See , e . g. , Zahn v . Board of Public Works , 274 11i
2 U .S. 325 , 47 S.Ct. 594 , 71 L.Ed . 1074 ( 1927) . !
3 "The inquiry for First Amendment purposes is not
concerned with economic impact ; rather it looks only to
4 the effect of this ordinance upon freedom of expression .
This prompts essentially two inquiries : ( i ) Does the
5 ordinance impose any content limitation on the creators �.
of adult movies or their ability to make them available
6 to whom they desire , and ( ii) does it restrict in any ! ,,
significant way the viewing of these movies by those who
7 desire to see them? On the record in this case , these
inquiries must be answered in the negative . At most the
8 impact of the ordinance on these interests is incidental
and minimal . " Young , at 78 . ,
9
Renton , like Detroit , has " . . . silen.ced no message , has
10
invoked no censorship , and has imposed no limitations upon
11
those who wish to view them. The ordinance is addressed only
12
to the places at which this type of expression may be
13
presented , a restriction that does not interfer with content .
14
Nor is there any significant overall curtailment of 'adult
15
movie presentation , or the opportunity for a message to reach
16
the audience ." Young, at 78-79 .
17 I;j
Secondly , the Plaintiffs were not impacted by the
18
Ordinance until they, with full knowledge of the existence of
19
the ordinance , elected to commit themselves to the purchase
20
21 and lease of the two theaters in the City of Renton . This
22 slight impact , is imposed by the Plaintiffs themselves ,
23 rather than by the City of Renton .
24 Finally, as noted in Shad , supra , at 671 , the protected
25 speech to which the Plaintiffs lay claim are readily
available within the Greater Seattle-King County area . The
26
Plaintiffs themselves are actively engaged in the exhibition
27
of adult films within the BM, CM and CMT zones within the
28•
29 City of Seattle . Even assuming that the Renton ordinance is
an impermissible prior restraint of their First Amendment

1 rights within the City of Renton , this defect is cured by the
2 availability of such, film fare within such a short distance
3 within the City of Seattle and elsewhere .
4 Therefore , the Ordinance complained of is a reasonable
5 regulation of the place at which such exhibition shall be
6 allowed in line with the City of Renton' s legitimate interest
7 in regulating and planning for thb character of its
8 neighborhoods . The ordinance does not constitute an
9 impermissible prior restraint on free speech .
10 E. CLASSIFICATION OF ADULT THEATERS BASED ON CONTENT
11 IS NOT A DENIAL OF EQUAL PROTECTION . Plaintiffs claim that
12 the Ordinance creates a classification based upon the content
13 of protected expression that is not rationally related to a
14 valid public purpose nor necessary to the achievement of a
15 compelling governmental interest . However , in Young , supra ,
16 the Supreme Court pointed out once again that there are
17 circumstances under which the state may restrict the
18 distribution or exhibition of protected materials without
19 violation of the equal protection clause . At 69 . As Justice
20 Stevens pointed out in the majority opinion , joined by three
21 other Justices , " . . . the Members of the Court who would accord
22 the greatest protection to such materials have repeatedly
23 indicated that the State could prohibit the distribution or
24 exhibition of such materials to juveniles and unconsenting
25 adults ." In Footnote 33 , the Court quotes Justice Brennan ,
26 in a dissent joined by Justice Stewart and Justice Marshall
27 as follows :
28 "I would , hold therefore , that at least in the absence
of distribution to juveniles or obstrusive exposure to
29 unconsenting adults , the First and Fourteenth Amendments
prohibit the State and Federal governments from
30 attempting wholly to supress sexually oriented materials
on the basis of their allegedly 'obscene ' contents .
31 Nothing in this approach precludes those governments

4 2628 , 2665 , 37 L.Ed . 2d . 446 .
5 Justice Stevens continues to point out that the interest
6 in protecting expression of erotic materials is different ,
7 and of a lesser magnitude , than the interest in protecting
8 political debate , and concludes " . . . the State may
9 legitimately use the content of these materials as the basis
I ,I
10 for placing them in a different classification from other
11 motion pictures ." at 70. This classification is justified by
12 the City' s interest in preserving the character of its
13 neighborhoods, the fundamental question upon which Young and
14 its following cases depend .
15 The legislative act which Plaintiffs challenge here is a
16 zoning enactment, a function long recognized as within the
17 power and authority of the municipality to provide for the
18 protection of public health , safety and welfare . Village of
1 19 Euclid v. Ambler Realty Company , 272 U.S. 365 , 71 L. Ed . 303 ,
20 47 .S . Ct . 114 ( 1926 ) . Indeed , Justice Powell , in his
21 concurring opinion called the zoning function " . . . perhaps
P
22 ' the most essential function performed by local government ,
23 for it is one of the primary means by which we protect that
24 sometimes difficult to define concept of quality of life . '"
25 Village of Beltare v. Boraas , 416 U .S. 13 , 94 S.Ct . 1543
26 ( 1974) . In Stansberry v. Holmes , 613 F.2d 1285 , 1288 (5th
27
Cir . 1980) , the Court of Appeals reviewed the Supreme Court' s
28 attitude toward review of local zoning:
29 "The Supreme Court has recognized the key role that the
30 zoning power can play in maintaining for citizens an
acceptable quality of life . Zoning is the local
31 community' s most powerful weapon against a wave of
commercialism that threatens to permeate not only the
32 major thoroughfares but the quiet residential
neighborhoods with their parks , trees , and children at

1 play. Without the power to zone , every person would be
at the mercy of the entrepreneur who chose to develop on
2 the next corner . Zoning provides one of the firmest and
most basic of the rights of local control . Since 1928 ,
3 the Supreme Court has never held that a zoning measure li
exceeded the police power . In Berman v . Parker , 348
4 U.S. 26 , 33 , 75 S.Ct . 98 , 102 , 99 L..Ed . . 27 ( 1954 ) , the
Court held that Land use regulations may promote "values
5 [which] are spiritual as well as physical , aesthetic as
well as monetary. " In Village of Belle Terre v . Boraas ,
6 416 U.S. 1 , 9 , 94 S.Ct . 1536 ,15r1, 39 L. Ed .2d 797
( 1974 ) , the • Court said that zoning could be used to
7 create and promote living areas that protect "family
values [and] youth values . "
8
Young has answered the equal protection argument 'r
9
advanced by Plaintiffs here. The Young opinion (although
10
adopted by only four Justices ) was that Detroit could
11
legitimately use the content of the materials , i .e . , sexually
12 H
explicit films , as a basis for placing them in a different
13
category from other motion pictures in an attempt to preserve
'14
the "quality of urban life" and in the furtherance of the
15
"city' s interest in the present and future character of its
16
neighborhoods ." Such classification was not violative of
17
respondent' s equal
18 Pprotection rights. . The City of Renton
also is concerned with the "quality of urban life" and the
19
"present and future character of its neighborhoods . " This
20
concern is the basis of the City Council ' s consideration , and
' 21
• 22 which form the foundation for the narrowly drawn regulations
of the Ordinance .
23
24 Therefore , the four-fold test established under United
25 States v. O'Brien , 391 U.S. 367 , 377 ,• 88 S.Ct . 1673 , 1679 , 20
L.Ed. 2d. 672 ( 1968 ) is met . First of all , the governmental
' 26
regulation is clearly within the constitutional power of the
27
I.
government . Euclid v . Ambler RealtyCompany ,
28 an Ey supra .
Secondly, the governmental regulation complained of furthers
29
an important or substantial governmental interest in
30
attempting to preserve the "quality of urban life" and in
31
furtherance of the "city' s interest in the present and future

•
1 character of its neighborhoods . " Thirdly, the assertion of
2 the governmental interest is unrelated to the surpression of
3 free expression . There is no feature of the Renton Ordinance
4 which acts as a surpression of free expression of protected
5 activities . Lastly, the incidental restriction on First
6 Amendment freedoms is no
greater than is essential to the
, .
7 furtherance of the
governmental interest . As shown by the
8 j
evidence before the Court, the regulations adopted by the
9 City Council are carefully and narrowly drawn with a view
10 toward the preservation of the "quality of urban life" and in
11 the furtherance of the "City' s interest in the present and
' 12 future character of its neighborhoods" . As in Young , the
13
Ordinance does not reduce the number or accessibility of
:14 theaters presenting particular films , and therefore stifles
15 no expression . There is no evidence before the Court to
' 16 sustain the inference that the regulation was drawn in an
17 effort to protect citizens against the content of adult
18 movies .
In short, the interests advanced by the City Council
19 are rationally related to a valid and proper governmental
20 purpose and have no more than an incidental effect upon the
21 freedom of expression claimed by the Plaintiffs .
22 F. THE ZONING ORDINANCE IS NOT A TAKING OF PROPERTY
23 WITHOUT DUE PROCESS OF LAW.
24 1 . Plaintiffs Have Caused Their Own Damage: To
25 the extent that the plaintiffs have , or will sustain damage
26 for which they claim that the City of Renton is denying their
27 property rights, that damage has been , or will be caused
28 solely by the Plaintiffs ' actions of chbosing to flagrantly
29 violate the terms of the perfectly valid. Ordinance , or to
30 bind themselves in a contractual relationship prior to a
31 valid determination of the constitutionality of the
32 Ordinance . Being deemed to be aware of the existence of the

1 Ordinance , Plaintiffs cannot now claim to have been deprived
2 of a personal liberty or property right without due process
3 of law where by their own actions they have bound themselves
4 to close a transaction' which they knew, or should have known ,
5 was subject to a reasonable and constitutional regulation .
6 2. Economic Loss Due To Zoning : As noted above , , I
7 per Justice Powell ' s concurring opinion in Young , the
8 constraints of the ordinance which may create economic loss
9 for some , . do not create a burden any greater than that l
10 imposed by more common ordinances that restrict movie I ,
11 theaters generally to commercial zones along with other types
it
12 of businesses presenting similar land use problems .
13 Therefore , plaintiffs claim to have suffered deprivation of
.14 liberty and/or property interests in the exercise of First
15 Amendment rights must fail . Once again , the City of Renton ' s
16 reasonable and rational interest in the preservation of the
17 "qualitylife"
of urban and in the furtherance of the "city' s
18 interest in the present and future character of its
19 neighborhoods" is a substantial and compelling reason to
20. justify the slight effect upon the exercise by plaintiffs of I
21 their First Amendment freedoms .
22 III . CONCLUSION
23
The Plaintiffs, having shown no irreparable injury to
24 �
themselves in the event that provisional injunctive relief is
25
not granted , are not entitled to the entry of a temporary
26
restraining order under the facts before the Court . The
27 Ordinance complained of closely patterns the constitutionally
28
tested pattern of land use regulations set forth in Youn&.
29 The Ordinance is neither vague as to Plaintiffs nor broad in
30
its application , and does not constitute a taking of

Dear Planning Commission Members:
No one wants the subject: "Adult Entertainment Land Uses." (The title should
win a prize for obscure euphemisms. )
I was not surprised that Council referred the matter to you on the off chance
that you would consider it a location/zoning problem. When the complaint about
alleged pornographic material in a local store came to my office, I thought,
"Aha! The Planning Commission has this issue; I ' ll pass it along to them."
You did the appropriate thing, in my opinion, remanding this to the elected
officials. We have the ultimate responsibility to walk that very narrow path
between protecting the public and interfering in their right to make their own
moral decisions.
Wish us luck.
Sincerely,
Barbara Y. Shinpoch
Mayor

RE: ADULT ENTERTAINMENT LAND USES
Dear Council Members:
The Planning Commission received and first considered your referral on
adult entertainment "land uses" at its regular meeting on September 10.
At that meeting, the Commission referred the matter to its Special
Studies Committee for investigation and report back.
The Special Studies Committee initially met with Dan Kellogg, Assistant
City Attorney, who explained the Council's referred item. The Committee
members considered various options open to the committee and to the
Commission. After looking at said options, it was unanimously decided !i
by the Committee to refer the matter back to the full Commission with . I
the recommendation that the Commission, in turn send the,question of
adult entertainment back to the Council for further action as it deems
necessary. The Commission met at its regular meeting of November 12,
and concurred in the Committee's recommendation.
The Commission, at this time, has before it many matters which it feels
are of great importance and urgency. The Commission, therefore, respect-
fully suggests that the referred subject matter could best be handled by
a Council committee and a citizen's committee appointed by the Council
and reporting directly to the Council for the specific purpose at hand.
The Commission also feels that most of the facets involving adult enter-
tainment are not within the purview of the Commission, except perhaps
in some later review of the zoning ordinance. The overriding consensus
is that the Commission is overburdened with priorities which the
Commission feels are in need of immediate action.

CITY OF RENTON
PLANNING COMMISSION
Report of Special Studies Committee
November 12, 1980
After meeting and deliberation, the Special Studies
Committee recommends that the Commission not carry on
"land use" studies for adult entertainment at this time,
based primarily on the full schedule of the Commission,
more details of which ore outlined in the draft letter
below. Consequently, at the last meeting of the Committee,
MOTION WAS MADE, SECONDED AND UNANIMOUSLY CARRIED that
the Committee recommend a letter be forwarded from the
full Commission to the City Council relative to the
Council's referral of September 8, 1980, which directed
the Commission to study and hold public hearings on
adult entertainment within the City of Renton; the Committee
submits the following draft of letter which it believes
should be sent from the Planning Commission:
"TO: RENTON CITY COUNCIL
"FROM: RENTON PLANNING COMMISSION
The Renton Planning Commission received and first considered
your referral on adult entertainment "land uses" at
its regular meeting on September 20, 1980. At that
meeting, the Commission voted to refer the matter to
its Special Studies Committee for investigation and
report bock.
The Special Studies Committee met first with Attorney
Dan Kellogg who explained the Council's referred item.
°• The Committee members have met, and in their last meeting
on November 6, 1980, considered several options open
to the committee and to the Commission. After looking
at various options, it was unanimously decided by the
Committee that the matter should be referred back to i
the full Commission with the recommendation that the
Commission, in turn, send the question of adult ent°®rtain-
ment back to the Council for the Council's further action
as it deems necessary.
The full Commission met at its .regular meeting of November
12, 1980, and concurred in the Committee's recommendation.

The Commission during this period of time has before
it many matters to be studied which are of great importance
and urgency, and the Commission respectfully suggests
that the referred subject matter might best be handled
by a Council committee and a citizens' committee to
be appointed by the Council which would report directly
to the Council.
The Commission feels that some of the facets involving
adult entertainment are not necessarily within the purview
of the Commission, except perhaps in some later review
of the zoning ordinances at an appropriate and more
convenient time. However, the overriding consensus
is that the Commission is overburdened with priorities
which the Commission feels are in need of immediate
action.
The Commission feels that the following are some of
the most pressing physical land use issues which must
be studied with the most expeditious speed possible
(some of which obviously require lengthy time and study) :
1. The Northeast Quadrant review of the comprehensive
plan now under way and which will continue for
eight more months.
_ 2. The Central Area study encompassing the downtown
business district, South Renton, North Renton,
"_ Earlington, West Hill, and Skyway, which likewise
1 l' is under way and will continue for eight to ten
1 ' months.
3. The Shoreline Master Plan which, by law, requires
periodic review and update.
4. Review of the Green River Valley comprehensive
plan.
5. Review of the comprehensive plan relating to mobile
home parks.
6. Review of the parking and loading ordinance.
7. Review of the PUD ordinance.
,As you can see, our schedule is very• full. I would
also say that the Commission regrets its inability handle
the Council referral at this time based on the above
urgent needs.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Chairman and Members DATE: October 30, 1980
of the Planning Commission
FROM: Mayor Shinpoch
On Thursday, October 30, Peggy Scott , a local grandmother, who declined
to give her address or telephone number, called to complain about
pornographic reading matter on open display racks at the Bartell Drug
Store in downtown Renton. Mrs. Scott was particularly concerned
because, since the closure of Austin Rexall Drugs , Bartell 's is the
only drugstore in the downtown core area, thus eliminating any choice
for patrons who would prefer not to shop at an establishment selling
smut.
' I
' I
I assured Mrs. Scott that I would forward her complaint to the
appropriate committee.

it was suggested that the document should be returned
to committee for further overall review or that another
point of view might be appropriate. The depth of the
Special Studies Committee review and its attempt to
impart the essence of cooperation was again noted.
