Zoning limiting adult bookstores to certain areas is unconstitutional.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Zoning that limits adult bookstores to certain areas is not inherently unconstitutional as long as it serves a legitimate governmental interest, such as preserving the character of neighborhoods, and does not restrict the freedom of speech more than is necessary. Courts have upheld such zoning laws under the First Amendment, provided they are designed to minimize secondary effects and not to suppress the expression of the content itself.
