City of Louisville In 2002, a coalition of adult entertainment venues, led by the parent companies of PT���s Showclub and Deja Vu, sued the city in U.S. District Court, arguing that the city���s recently amended ordinance on adult entertainment was unconstitutional. Various aspects of the ordinance were in dispute, primarily the ���buffer zone,��� which required dancers to keep a certain distance from patrons and even regulated the minimum height of the stage on which they were required to dance. The case also challenged the licensing requirements themselves, which included providing to the city a signimcant amount of information about the business and its owners, and the associated licensing fees, which could be as high as $5,000. Individual entertainers were also required to have a license, with a similar procedure. Judge John G. Heyburn II���s ruling found that the buffer zone rules were acceptable, but the licensing process itself was unconstitutional. The city was required to justify or adjust the licensing fees and change the way it handled the personal information that was collected. Because of the way the ordinance was originally written, if one part of the ordinance was unenforceable, the entire ordinance was unenforceable. The rules were rewritten in 2004, and a similar group of clubs mled another challenge ��� but this time, the law was upheld in District Court, the Court of Appeals and the Kentucky State Supreme Court.
