"Today's Court of Appeals decision will not deter the City from enforcing the Adult Use Zoning Law to protect the quality of life in our City's communities. The Court's statutory interpretation frustrates the obvious intent of the law by making it possible for some businesses to evade the law's clear purpose. We will continue vigorous enforcement and we will consider legislative changes to insure that our residences, schools and places of worship remain far from the shadows cast by strip clubs and other adult businesses."
