Complain to the City Council representative

Many citizens are concerned about the recent opening downtown of the Adult World Bookstore. They have been complaining to City Council members; the representative for the downtown ward is Delores Lemma. Council member Lemma has received many complaints, and has asked you as the community planner to research this issue and prepare a document that briefly describes the powers local officials have to deal with an adult book store, which seems to be a legal, although generally undesirable, business.

You should research this issue and try to find similar examples from other communities. Indicate in a report to council member Lemma what powers the city may have and tactics and strategies communities have used to deal with undesirable businesses.

Prepare report for council member Lemma
