Local governments can single-out adult entertainment businesses for special regulatory treatment so long as the regulations allow such businesses to open and operate and are not motivated by a distaste for the content of the entertainment presented in such businesses. This webinar will discuss what cities should do to ensure that the zoning or licensing regulations they apply to adult entertainment businesses will be upheld if challenged.

Speaker will provide the economic theory of exactions (differentiating between mitigating negative externalities such as road widening and rewarding positive externalities such as property tax abatement as a form of “reverse” exactions), introduce the concepts of “planning harm” (a new term but one which leads to exactions as a way to reduce/prevent harm from planning decisions) and “planning gain” (such as when new development uses its value added to pay for infrastructure and when a new development agrees to share profits with local government). But most of the conversation will address mitigation-driven exactions:

Land UseForm-Based Codes
Unlike traditional zoning, a form-based code is a land development regulation that provides a means of achieving a specific urban form. It utilizes physical form as an organizing principal and focuses on an integration of uses rather than a separation of uses. This presentation will provide an overview of form-based codes and will discuss both their pros and cons. Under which circumstances would a community use a form-based code? Attend this presentation to learn more.
