3 later decisions quote this exact passage“[I]t is clear from the County Commission’s resolution that the Ordinance was not intended to restrict any communication or protected speech or to deny adults access to the distributors of sexually oriented entertainment. The Ordinance is an attempt to regulate the location and the access to these materials. “The mere fact that the commercial exploitation of material protected by the First Amendment is subject to zoning and other licensing requirements is not a sufficient reason for invalidating [an] ordinance[ ].” Young v. American Mini Theatres, Inc., 427 U.S. 50, 62 , 96 S.Ct. 2440, 2448 , 49 L.Ed.2d 310, 321 , reh’g denied, 429 U.S. 873 , 97 S.Ct. 191 , 50 L.Ed.2d 155 (1976). It is within the constitutional powers of a county or municipality to adopt regulations which limit the areas in which adult entertainment establishments may operate. D.G. Restaurant Corp. v. City of Myrtle Beach, 953 F.2d 140, 145 (4th Cir. 1991); Young, 427 U.S. 50 , 96 S.Ct. 2440 , 49 L.Ed.2d 310 ; City of Renton v.
