YAKIMA, Wash. (AP) — The Yakima City Council voted down proposed restrictions on sexy coffee stands.

The vote at Thursday’s special meeting was 4-3 against an adult business ordinance putting new restrictions on espresso stand signs and behavior.

Mayor Micah Cawley said the city has bigger things to deal with — drugs, gangs and crime. KAPP reports the mayor hopes coffee stand owners will regulate themselves.

The city has received complaints about indecent exposure and baristas dancing for tips.
