OCEAN CITY, Wash. - The mayor and council settled on a course of action regarding sexually oriented businesses this week, deciding to restrict such business to a limited portion of the town.
The town chose the most restrictive scenario governing where sexually oriented business could be located. The mayor and council initially faced concerns that being too restrictive on sexually oriented businesses could result in a lawsuit against the town, but after reviewing maps showing areas that could be zoned for sexually oriented businesses, they decided to pursue a more restrictive scenario.
"I think it's fair, based on what we have today," said Ocean City Mayor Rick Meehan.
Ocean City currently has only one sexually oriented business.
