PZC Cuts Losses

Posted in PZC, Sex Clubs at 5:19 pm by Ladyx

After what was a wild and wooly public hearing last night, the PZC finally unanimously voted to remove the special permit required for an adult entertainment establishments wishing to open their business in an I-3 zone.  This was their last stand on the issue before the court hearings open on Sept 17th. 

This probably means that the Council will adopt their proposed Sexually Oriented Business Ordinance, otherwise any establishment can open in an I-3. 

From the speakers last night, I do believe that the residents at least, understand what the lawsuits are all about.  It reallyhas nothing to do about the residents not wanting these types of businesses, rather what the Town does in attempting to prohibit them.  Anyway, there has been enough said on the subject and the door is still not closed.

My one question, is that, when the PZC denied the application for the two new zones (Northend and Prestige Park) why did they not go back to the table and propose a different area?

My question leads to the proposal that Jon Searles made - have a Roberts Street zone and no where else in town.  His proposal makes sense. 

Brainflation has a terrific post up regarding the hearing last night - my compliments!
