Richmond Put Up Hurtles for Adult Businesses
Richmond, like many other communities, is concerned with the growth of adult oriented businesses. i guess all development is not good development:
The Richmond Common Council on Monday night passed a new adult entertainment ordinance for the city, one that will require such businesses to pay an annual $500 fee, face planned and unplanned inspections, and be required to locate in C4 general business districts
The big challenge under the ordinance will be finding a location that is not within 1,000 feet of a residence, church, school or public park. The 2 existing adult stores would not meet the terms of the new ordinance, but they will be permitted to remain as a nonconforming use.
