Panel Won’t Try to Close Bondage Club
A Los Angeles city committee has decided against asking city staff to search for a way to close down the Club Chateau, a bondage and discipline club in North Hollywood.
The City Council’s Planning and Land Use Committee decided Tuesday not to act on a letter from Los Angeles County supervisors, who asked the city to look for a way to revoke the operating permit for the club at 7310 Atoll Ave. Supervisors were responding to a recommendation by the county Commission on Obscenity and Pornography.
The city granted the club a permit in December. City officials said they could not refuse to let the club operate because it is within the guidelines of the city’s adult entertainment ordinance.
