It sounds to me like whoever was running the show didn't think everything through fully. Even if this wasn't an 'adult business' but let's say a nightclub, zoning regulations might not permit running a business there of any kind, or for example a nightclub or whatever. Commercial businesses where people gather generally have requirements for egress to the venue, proof of fire extinguishers, evacuation plans and the like which I doubt these folks had. Even if this is a 'private club' as opposed to let's say a publicly open business, it is regulated as a business. They might have been able to get away with it if the land and such was owned by a private group and member dues went to pay for the place on a non profit basis, but even then it would probably not pass muster. I suspect they were relying on the owners to keep quiet and they didn't realize that the daughter was a member of either the church lady or women against porn kind of screwed up woman, and that is all it takes (the town probably knew about it but wouldn't do anything unless a complaint was filed). Of course, if this had been a group of snake handling Christians or evangelicals forming their own 'church' they probably wouldn't be touched but that is life I am afraid.
