Buffalo Township plans law restricting sexually oriented businesses

Pennsylvania- If it jiggles or shows too much skin for cash, it’s probably covered in a planning ordinance proposed Wednesday that sets limits on sexually oriented businesses in Buffalo Township.

Supervisors plan to vet the ordinance at a public hearing on Oct. 8.

According to Dan Przybylek, supervisors’ chairman, the ordinance was inspired by recent controversy caused when Adams Township supervisors nixed the opening of a pole-dancing exercise studio. As a result, they’re battling a First Amendment lawsuit that claims they discriminated against the business by denying its owner, Stephanie Babines, an occupancy permit.

By law, local governments must make room for such businesses but, so far, Buffalo Township has none, Przybylek said.

The purpose of the ordinance is to find legal ways to discourage them from choosing to open.

“This is just part of an overall plan towards helping parents raise healthy kids,” Przybylek said.

The ordinance requires yearly licensing and criminal background checks for sexually oriented businesses and their workers.

It limits the hours of operation from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Saturday and forbids them to open on Sundays or legal holidays.

It also forbids semi-nude performers from collecting money from customers, or from getting within 10 feet of them — two common features of most strip clubs.

But, according to Przybylek, the ordinance doesn’t attempt to “define obscenity or restrict free speech.”

The ordinance may still require some “tweaking,” said Larry Lutz, township solicitor.

Paul Schmidt, 72, of Goldscheitter Road, supports the ordinance.

“I don’t see anything wrong with it,” he said.

On the other hand, both Schmidt and Przybylek agree that the ordinance can’t touch the place where most pornography enters the township: residents’ personal computers.

“The paradigm has changed to the point where it’s in the home,” Przybylek said.
