The New York Association of Adult Entertainment EstablishmentsThe New York Association of Adult Entertainment Establishments (NYAEE) causes a legal action against the Department of City Planning. Context and facts. In this controversy, the adult institution was limited to the cities of New York, Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn, the Bronx, and Staten Island:I. Adult establishments, old and new, are excluded from some districts designated for manufacturing and commercial use, but which also allow residential development.II. Adult facilities must be within 500 feet of schools, places of worship, daycare centers.III. Not more than one adult establishment in a zoning area.IV. The adult establishment cannot have more than 10,000 square feet of floor space and basement.V. Adult facilities must comply or close within a year. These regulations are established by the New York City Department of City Planning for the following reasons: decreased property values ​​of surrounding businesses and residents, increased crime, substantial loss of business due to loss of investment, and decline in economic activity and pedestrian.Issues.The disputes involving the interests of the city against the interests of adult entertainment businesses are threefold. First, in the process of zoning property lines, the government must avoid a regulatory factor that allows a business to have no other competition. A monopoly is an economic entity that is illegal in our free market system. If there can only be one adult establishment in a zoning area, a competitive market restriction occurs where there can be no choice for the consumer. This is the weakest of the three topics... the center of the paper... the inment industry, and to have such a great variety of successful departments, areas of interest, customers would have to walk through the stores, unless that they aren't all drive-thru buildings. Therefore, it must be some type of pedestrian activity. This attorney believes that the Department of City Planning's action in regulating the properties of NYAEE owners violated vested private property rights. NYAEE property owners affected by the regulations should file a lawsuit against the city for compensation for property acquired by the government regulations. Bibliography: Works Cited Dolan v.
