For example, the state's law on sexually oriented businesses prohibits these businesses from being within a thousand feet of residential areas, houses of worship, and public parks. Additionally, a municipality can establish a zoning ordinance that will channel adult entertainment to less obtrusive locations. In addition, an adult film project may need a special license.</p>

Eldakroury" case was the first legal decision in the state that compared the zoning requirements of an adult entertainment business to other state laws.

While this may be the case for some erotica, it is unlikely for other forms of adult novelties.</p>
