SALISBURY — Salisbury Mayor Jim Ireton, Jr. this week urged the City Council to approve a code change which would place more stringent regulations on adult entertainment businesses and allow the city to dictate more precisely they can be located.
Ireton introduced amortization legislation that would gradually move questionable adult entertainment businesses away from residential areas, schools and churches. The city’s Planning and Zoning staff recently updated the 2008 analysis regarding potential sites for adult entertainment businesses and confirmed just over six percent of the land area in Salisbury may be eligible for the location of the adult businesses, which exceeds the accepted five percent generally established by case law.
Under the city’s current code, a business is considered an adult entertainment business if at least 20 percent of its square footage is devoted to “adult” material. In addition, the gross revenue received or expected from “adult” sales is 20 percent or more.

Heard yesterday that Somerset County Commissioners are worried that the public is going to find out who is getting all of the contracts for road repair and excavating, a lot of no bids. Heard there is a relationship among the players. If you start a post, watch out.
I just put Pa Kettle's voice to 9:55's comment.Perfect fit.
How about locating them in the downtown plaza?
Jumbo is gonna pee in these people corn flakes so bad theyll never sell him a rubber pogo stick again!
Butthole
We really need a nice strip club in Salisbury. This kind of club would help round out the great bars, and shops we have in the downtown area.This kind of entertainment also brings in more of the people that the Mayor and chief say are not criminals, just misunderstood folks. After all, Salisbury has very little criminal activity, just ask them!
Agreed! 90% of city limits should be bulldozed anyway.
