Strip Club Developer Sues Over East Hartford Zoning Rules

A developer who wants to open an 'upscale' strip club on the site of a former Elks Club lodge on Roberts Street has filed a federal lawsuit against the town, claiming zoning regulations unconstitutionally restrict adult entertainment establishments from operating successfully.

The lawsuit, filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court in New Haven by developer Mark Chu, marks the second time in six months that Chu has sued the town over its zoning regulations. He withdrew his original federal suit after the town's planning and zoning commission agreed to review its regulations to see if changes needed to be made to accommodate adult entertainment businesses.
