They can allow or disallow residential use, businesses of specific types, churches, etc., as long as it's for the entire zone. Exceptions are allowed by either special use permits of variances, as granted by a zoning adjustment board, which votes on specific applications. Most towns have "R" zones, which typically only allow residences, the most restrictive allowing only single family detached homes. "B" zones typically allow only eretail businesses, etc. I'm surprised the town did not make the applicable law available to the church group, since it's a public record.

Is the mayor Christian? Who approved so called ordinance? What a real shame. It's time for Christians to stand up and draw the line.

I always have to copy and paste them in a new window.

You must be like me--I have several tabs open at once.

It is liberal coveteousness. Most of the liberals I know are, as you pointed out, NOT working a 9-5 job, NOT making a marriage work, NOT raising decent children, NOT attending church, NOT volunteering in their community, and NOT helping their neighbors. They are sitting around thinking up ways to tell the rest of us what to do and how to do it.

To use the quote “ Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their Country”, State, City and neighborhood should be added. In order to form a more perfect Union we must band together to hold our beloved Constitution safe from all enemies foreign and domestic. Will you help, will you stand and will you share? The fight will be huge. The cost will be great. The rewards will be freedom. We need a State-by-State league joined at the hips to protect the US Constitution. I propose this be the start of The Arizona League. I’m open for input and or information. Respond, as you will. fedupinarizona@gmail.com Jack Hotchkiss Kingman, Arizona Mon, 16 Jan 2012 17:32:39 +0000http://visiontoamerica.org/7240/lawsuit-alleges-churches-singled-out-for-unfair-treatment/#IDComment266014923 http://visiontoamerica.org/7240/lawsuit-alleges-churches-singled-out-for-unfair-treatment/#IDComment265981779I don't know of many Public Libraries that have the documents that you refer to. They would be on file with the Clerk of Court and/or the Building and Permits Office in City Hall. If however, they refuse to make them available to someone to look at, then the ability to read has nothing to do with this story. That's taking a pretty cheap shot at the Pastor, Gary.

There should be a copy of the City Charter with all amendments, zoning regulations etc.at the Public Library. If she can't understand the language, I'm sure the city attorney will be glad to explain it to her.

I have trouble deciding whether our country really is split down the middle between "progressive-liberals" and "conservatives", or whether our country is mostly normal, everyday, fairly conservative people who have been taken over by a minority of well-funded liberals who don't have near enough to do. While they are NOT working at a 9-5 job, NOT making a marriage work, NOT raising decent children, NOT attending church, NOT volunteering in their community, and NOT helping their neighbors, they are apparently sitting around thinking up ways to tell the rest of us what to do and how to do it, in such a way that makes them the most money. It's not obstructionism on steroids, Harry, it's liberal greed. Follow the money.

I would like to see all the material some thing here seems to be missing Mon, 16 Jan 2012 14:28:03 +0000http://visiontoamerica.org/7240/lawsuit-alleges-churches-singled-out-for-unfair-treatment/#IDComment265880116 http://visiontoamerica.org/7240/lawsuit-alleges-churches-singled-out-for-unfair-treatment/#IDComment265400304They say the restriction applies to all buildings of religious worship, but I'd like to see them say no to using a building as mosque.

It seems that there is much discrimination against Christians but I trust there are sensible reason not to allow the church to be built, even though I can not imagine unless there is not enough parking room and it will interfere with other people's property. Of course I do not know about much about legal reasons that may interfere other than parking interference.
