The Legal Show Zoning Out

Attorney Sarah Steele and author/writer Bennet Pomerantz discuss the subjects of the day. 

The audience should know that although Ms. Steele is a licensed attorney, she is not offering legal advice in any capacity, is not establishing an attorney/client relationship with anyone listening to the show, and recommends that any listener of the show consult a local attorney for any legal advice they may require.

This show is about us discussing hot topics and how they relate to the law.

Tonight we discuss zoning – the good, bad, and the political.  On June 02, 2014, the Supreme Court of Georgia heard oral arguments in the case of City of Brookhaven v. Trop. Inc., on whether or not the Pink Pony Adult Club could continue on with regular business in light of an ordinance passed just one month after the inception of the City of Brookhaven.  The ordinance disallowed adult clubs to serve alcohol alongside nude dancing.  Ironically, even though Brookhaven is trying to get rid of the Pink Pony now, it may never have been allowed to incorporate under Georgia law without the Pink Pony due to the $100,000+ that the Pink Pony pays to the City due to various licenses it has to maintain.  Join Bennet and Sarah as they discuss zoning laws and how they can be used for and against the citizens of various neighborhoods.
