The City Council denied a conditional-use permit for Dick & Jane’s Super Spot in 2017. The owner, David Eliason, filed a lawsuit.
A judge ruled that portions of the city’s laws against sexually oriented businesses are unconstitutional. If City Council members were surprised, City Attorney Joel Landeen was not.
“I don t think it was any secret that our office advised them that the denial was probably not a good idea, and it would probably not turn out well for us in court,” Landeen said.
The judge’s ruling in 2019 did not resolve the case. The two sides continued fighting over damages until recently. Landeen said the city whittled the amount down from the store owner’s request for more than $500,000.

Gov. Jared Polis delivers a statewide address on the COVID-19 pandemic on April 8, 2020.
As the pandemic nears its one year mark, Gov. Jared Polis has issued more than 260 executive orders aimed at slowing the spread of COVID-19. He says he can’t wait until they all expire.
“You know each one is difficult, and thoughtful and predicated by science,” he said in an interview with Rocky Mountain Community Radio.
But as the crisis has dragged on, the governor and his administration have been defending themselves against a steady stream of lawsuits coming from churches, businesses and others questioning everything from mask mandates to capacity restrictions.
