		This doctrine, which arose out of adult business zoning cases, provides that government officials have greater leeway to regulate adult businesses if they are concerned with the harmful side effects allegedly associated with these businesses — such as increased crime and prostitution and decreased property values.
		The secondary-effects doctrine has proven to be fertile ground for abuse because it enables government officials to conceal their thinly disguised dislike for adult entertainment behind claims of harmful effects.
		This last point might be a small nugget of hope for lawyers representing adult businesses, because the opinion could be read to require a city to allow prospective adult businesses to prove that businesses of their sort do not cause certain harmful secondary effects.

	City of Renton v Playtime Theatres, Inc.
		The term "adult motion picture theater" was defined as "[a]n enclosed building used for presenting motion picture films, video cassettes, cable television, or any other such visual media, distinguished or characteri[zed] by an emphasis on matter depicting, describing or relating to specified sexual activities' or 'specified anatomical areas'.
		The District Court found that the City Council's "predominate concerns" were with the secondary effects of adult theaters, and not with the content of adults films themselves.
		The Court asserts that the ordinance is "aimed not at the content of the films shown at 'adult motion picture theatres,' but rather at the secondary effects of such theaters on the surrounding community", and thus is simply a time, place, and manner regulation.
