Zoning is generally a state/local issue, so there isn't a country-wide set of rules. Oregon, for instance, has an unusually strong freedom of speech protection in its state constitution that goes beyond the federal freedom of speech protection. Consequently, it is much harder to zone out strip clubs, they can pretty much go where they want in Oregon. The primary weapon that opponents have are protest and liquor licensing. But if you are willing to forgo serving alcohol, you can open a strip club most any place.
