Detroit Strip Clubs: Strip club crackdown hearing draws dozens

Strip club crackdown hearing draws dozens
Darren A. Nichols / The Detroit News
Detroit — The issue of whether morality can be legislated took center stage when more than 100 people attended Tuesday’s Detroit City Council hearing on the possible crackdown on strip clubs.
Workers from the city’s 33 topless clubs voiced their opposition to the possible changes, saying a ban on lap dances and VIP rooms would force them out of business and leave more city residents unemployed.
“I take care of my family,” said Omni Jenkins, 21, a dancer at a local club. “By cutting us off and making up all these rules, it’s going to cause crime rates to go up. It affects not only the entertainment community, but Detroit as a whole.”
…
The city has settled two federal lawsuits involving strip clubs recently for almost $670,000. The clubs say they bring in more than $3 million annually to Detroit in property taxes and fees and employ nearly 6,700 people.

Detroit City Council Weighs Banning Lap Dances
Tue, Sep 22 2009 05:30pm PDT
DETROIT — City Council here is grappling over the language of a new ordinance that could heavily regulate the city’s 33 strip clubs.
The proposed changes follow a court battle in which a federal judge struck down Detroit’s strip-club ordinance where they could open up. The judge ordered the city regulations rewritten.
But the fear in the adult entertainment community here is genuine because lap dances and VIP rooms could be banned with the new ordinance.
Also dancers could be kept six feet away from customers, on stages at least 18 inches high and in rooms at least 600 square feet. And most club employees would have to pass background checks.
More than 100 workers at the city’s clubs voiced their opposition Tuesday to the full City Council.

Detroit Adult Entertainment: Commission approves liquor license for entertainment complex

Emagine Entertainment has proposed the 58,000-square-foot facility to take up all of the vacant land abutting Troy Street along 11 Mile Road, with the theater also taking over the 400-space parking structure located just to the north of the site.
Along with 10 movie screens, there would be 16 lanes of bowling, with a small restaurant located inside as well, according to the proposal. The plan is to sell alcohol to both movie-goers and those using the bowling alley. The entire facility would be smoke-free.
The facility would cost $10 million to construct. Emagine President Paul Glantz plans to purchase the property for $3.5 million and was proposing bringing in a liquor license from Berkley, which he purchased for $50,000, according to the plans.
The commission approved only the liquor license transfer along with side agreements that outline restrictions on the license. The restrictions include not allowing the license to be transferred to another business in Royal Oak and not allowing adult entertainment at the facility.
