Porn producers finding chilly receptions

Don’t look for an official sanction of smut in the Southern California city of Camarillo during the next few weeks — its council this week passed a 45-day moratorium on all pornography to battle an anticipated influx of adult-oriented business from nearby San Fernando Valley. (Ventura County Star)
It’s a concern shared by authorities in numerous communities in the neighborhood.
Following a requirement endorsed by Los Angeles’ city council that condoms must be utilized during porn production, producers began looking at neighboring communities for hosting businesses.
Camarillo city officials noted what was termed “unusual activity” in the permit process as more and more porn professionals sought refuge; the city’s ban includes all event and conditional use permits.
Camarillo Assistant City Attorney Don Davis said an emergency ordinance was appropriate because permits have recently been sought for establishment of an adult film studio, as well as other “short-term” filming projects.
