Thought there was some progress for the area with Burger Co and Pinkey's coming but don't think a strip club would be a good idea in Wesley Heights..
This was going in front of the zoning board...
CASE NO. 10-019 – Application has been made by ADOF Entertainment Group, Inc. (Represented
by Robert Brandon) for property located at 935 S. Summit Avenue, Tax Parcel Number 073-253-01,
requesting a 122 foot variance from the required 1000 foot minimum distance separation from any
residential district, school, church, child care center, park or playground to allow an adult establishment
which is located less than 1000 feet from residences.
Code Section 2.201 states that an adult
establishment is an adult bookstore, adult motion picture theatre, adult mini motion picture theatre, or
adult live entertainment business as defined in this section. Code Section 9.1103(3) states that adult
establishments are subject to the regulations of Section 12.518. Code Section 12.518(b) states that any
structure in which an adult establishment, other than an adult bookstore or adult mini motion picture
theatre, is the principal or accessory use shall be separated by a distance of at least 1000 feet from any
residential district, school, church, child care center, park or playground. Code Section 12.518(e) states
that the distance for the separation from residential zoning and protected uses shall be measured in a
straight line from the closest edge of the building occupied by an adult use to the nearest residential
zoning district or to the property line of a protected use.
Code Section 12.518(g) states that in addition to
the standards set forth in Section 5.108, before granting a variance from the separation requirements set
forth in subsection (a) or (b) of this section, the Board of Adjustment shall find that thoroughfares, traffic
circulation patterns, structures or other natural or man-made geographic or topographic features are likely
to provide an adequate measure of protection for the protected zoning or use from any secondary effects
of the adult establishment
