Lexington, Ky- The Lexington Planning Commission has thrown another monkey wrench into Jimmy Flynt’s plans for opening “Hustler Hollywood”.

This week, Lexington’s planning commission approved an amendment which would prevent adult businesses from setting up shop at interstate interchanges.

For Jimmy Flynt, the brother of Hustler publisher Larry Flynt, it could stall his plans to open a Hustler Hollywood store on a site off Winchester Road near I-75.

It’s now up to urban county council members to approve the change in the zoning ordinance.

Helping oppose Flynt is Flynt’s longtime Greater Cincinnati nemesis – Citizens for Community Values president Phil Burress.

From the Gene Files: A Starbucks-style adult book store wouldn’t fly in Lexington, so Hustler’s trying a different tact- a nude juice bar. Now that Hustler’s been turned down on one end, Jimmy Flynt said he’s looking at alternatives that would include an all-nude cabaret with a non-alcoholic juice bar.

But Flynt said he would open a Hustler enterprise one way or another. “We may change it to a cabaret or we may leave it as a boutique,” Flynt told the press. Several days ago Flynt went to court to appeal the city’s decision to turn down a request for a Hustler store that would include a restaurant-coffee shop similar to a Starbucks with an area for adult magazines, movies and novelties. City officials, however, said they will fight Flynt on whatever he decides to do.

Commenting on Flynt’s idea about opening an all-nude juice bar, Pamela D. Honchell, head of a citizen’s group called A Better Lexington, said it was her understanding that Flynt, who’s already got $2 million invested in the project, wanted to open next door to a restaurant. Honchell said no way is her group going to give up the fight.

City officials however conceded that an adult cabaret such as one that Flynt wants to open would be permissible next to the restaurant provided certain conditions were met, according to the city’s planning manager, Bill Sallee. But such a request would still need city approval. Flynt’s attorney Louis Sirkin said that Flynt was not going to relinquish the property and would fight. “We’ve got our combat boots on,” he said.

Last Friday, Flynt filed suit against the city in Fayette Circuit Court to appeal the Board of Adjustment’s decision to turn down Flynt’s original request for a store. The suit called the decision “erroneous, arbitrary, capricious and unconstitutional.”

Burress, who heads the Sharonville, Ohio-based anti-pornography group, was recently invited to Lexington to rally opponents of Flynt’s latest retail expansion.

“The Flynts always want to be near an interstate interchange. … These are places for transient people and their dirty little secret, not the locals who live nearby,” said Burress.
