Looking to stop spread of liquor stores, sex shops and tattoo parlors, Orange Beach council halts new business licenses | al.com: "ORANGE BEACH, Ala. -- Poised to vote next week on a rule that would confine tattoo parlors, palm readers, pawn shops and flea markets to the city's small industrial zone, the City Council on Wednesday enacted a 60-day moratorium on business permits for such entities to prevent any from coming to town before the new zoning law is adopted.

The council also approved a six-month moratorium on business licenses for liquor stores, sex shops and payday loan outlets."
