City considers tighter rules for adult entertainment venues
Ottawa City Commission may add a historic district clause to the adult entertainment ordinance. The proposal would bar licenses within 1000 feet of a historic building or district, expanding protections beyond churches schools and day cares and targeting downtown sites such as a North Main location eyed for a new business. The panel plans a 7 p.m. vote at City Hall on a beefed up version of the current rule.
