The Ad Hoc Committee on Adult Businesses will discuss state and local laws related to adult businesses and hear an overview of zoning regulations related to adult businesses. DuPage County Board Chairman Cronin created the committee to provide a mechanism to thoughtfully study adult businesses and examine the issues related to these types of businesses in the unincorporated areas of the County. The goal will be for the committee to propose reasonable licensing regulations to mitigate the negative secondary impacts these businesses have on the community. Documents will be posted 3 business days prior to the meeting. Agendas and minutes.
