Detroit Strip Clubs: Appeals court overturns Detroit zoning rules on adult businesses

The 6th Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled against the city of Detroit in a case brought by the owners of a topless bar, concluding that zoning restrictions put in place by the city on adult establishments are unconstitutional. You can view the full ruling (PDF) here.
It’s a rather unusual case that began in 1998 when the state of Michigan began issuing a new type of license, a Topless Activity Permit (TAP), for adult establishments with liquor licenses. The original owners of a topless club then called “Legends” applied for and got a TAP for their business.
The city of Detroit then changed its zoning ordinances to prevent the opening of businesses with a TAP license within the “central business district” – i.e. downtown Detroit. But because this business was preexisting, it was “grandfathered” in under the old rules and allowed to continue to operate.
