FYI, the City of Mountain View has a downtown precise plan that spells out what they expect each block to look like, and
which uses are permitted (precise plan attached). Uses starts around pg 32 of the document.

They have various commercial designations (commercial neighborhood, commercial service (general commercial), etc.)
allowing for more descretion as to what kind of business can go in each zone. See: here
For:
Adult Entertainment: they do have a clause about concentration - like Santa Cruz, they have a distance requirement: see
this link. (Essentially 400' from logical uses and 1000' from one another).
Day care facilities: Standards for child-care facilities. Large family day-care homes and child day-care centers are
