Tel Aviv’s Planning and Construction Committee approved Sept. 16 a new policy, turning permits for new strip clubs into an almost impossible mission. According to the new instructions, anyone wishing to open such a club would need a special authorization from the planning committee. Each request is then discussed separately. More so, opening a strip club without the proper permit would be considered a criminal offense.
The new regulations offer the committee grounds for refusal of changing designated land use in such cases. In practical terms this means a long and complicated process that is unlikely to end up with a permit.
