The commission voted 3-1 Tuesday night to deny the application for a club called "The Bronx."
City planning staff had recommended approval because it met city zoning requirements.
But the Las Cruces Sun-News reports (http://bit.ly/PmvV7i ) the commission heard two hours of testimony that was overwhelmingly opposed to the club.
Opponents including ministers and business leaders quoted scripture and warned of a moral catastrophe if the club was approved. They argued that the club would objectify women, damage the city's character and quality of life, increase crime, lower property values and erode the social fabric.
