SECTION 3: This ordinance shall be effective for a period of four months commencing with the date of adoption unless extended, repealed or modified by ordinance adopted by this Council. SECTION 4: The Planning Department and the Planning Commission are directed to study and prepare a zoning proposal whereby the City may control the location of the above described uses by permanent provision in the zoning code and to submit such proposal to this Council for its review and consideration. SECTION 5: This Council finds that this ordinance is urgently required as an emergency ordinance for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, and safety for the following reasons: (a) The uncontrolled location of the uses hereinabove specified in those areas of the City where such uses are now per- mitted may attract an undesirable quantity and qualtiy of tran- sients to such areas, adversely affect property values therein, cause an increase in crime therein, especially prostitution, and encourage residents and businesses located therein to move else- where; (b) Amendment of the zoning provisions of the Municipal Code is required to regulate the location of such uses in order to avoid or mitigate such adverse effects. (c) Unless prohibited during the period of review and study preliminary to enactment of such ordinance, such specified uses are likely to be initiated which may be in conflict with such ordinance as finally enacted. Therefore the City Council declares that this ordinance shall take effect as, and is adopted as, an emergency measure and is to be enforced from the date of its publication.
