Sweetwater County weighing rules for adult stores

Sweetwater County is considering new rules for sexually oriented businesses.

The rules would spell out where sexually oriented businesses would be allowed to operate. The rules also would prohibit sexually oriented businesses from advertising on signs placed on vehicles.

If approved, the ordinance would apply to a yellow school bus parked along a remote stretch of Interstate 80. The bus has a sign on it advertising a nearby adult store. Complaints about the sign prompted the proposed county ordinance change.
