Amazingly, this is exactly what you can't do based on most of the zoning ordinances I've read. These things are now becoming very common in local ordinances. Usually, there is a requirement that one "sexually oriented business" can't be close to another. For example, one ordinance reads that you can't be within 500 feet of any residential zone, church, school, playground or within 1000 feet of another SOB. The other common thing you find, is there "justification" section for the ordinance citing increased crime, prostitution, and devaluing of surrounding properties. And of course none of these are even applicable to our type business.
