The City of Lawrence has shed more light on why it is trying to shut down a local strip club that it says has been operating illegally. In a lawsuit filed Feb. 2 in Douglas County District Court, the city alleged that Allstars has been operating without the license required for a sexually oriented entertainment business… The city also claimed Allstars is ineligible to receive such a license .. There are various provisions in city code that would make a business ineligible or disqualify it from being provided a city license for a sexually oriented entertainment business, and previously the city had not specified which of the code’s provisions it believed Allstars had violated. But in a recent court filing, the city stated that Allstars was in violation of a provision that prohibits such businesses from being located within 1,000 feet of certain properties, including schools, churches, city parks, residences and certain businesses.
