I do hope the office space is not too expensive - I don't want money that could be put to better use wasted on rent.

However, in Hamilton, the Council has considered potential increases in illegal activities to make new rules on garage positions and height of fences.

It seems to me that we are confusing two questions here.
The first is, should brothels be a legal business activity?
Agree or not, this decision has been made some time ago, if you don't like that decision then it is up to you to stir at a national political level to get that decision changed.
Secondly, does the Chow's business establishment conform to the Council's zoning and building laws?
Apparently it does.
So that can legally proceed.

A good result in the end......temporarily, at least.
Another reason to support the calls for stricter licensing laws.
Chows' super-brothel plan is off
Strip club owners the Chow brothers have dropped plans for a controversial, central-city, 15-floor super-brothel, in a last-minute backdown welcomed by opponents of Auckland's burgeoning flesh trade.
The proposed brothel, across the road from SkyCity casino and the thriving Federal St restaurant precinct, had been approved by the Auckland Council — disregarding concerns it would create a 24/7 sex, booze and crime neighbourhood.
But this weekend, in an exclusive interview with the Herald on Sunday, John Chow said a bruising liquor licensing battle had exhausted the brothers' patience.
