Court: |
WY Supreme Court |
|
Facts: |
The crows buy a four lots in a very nice area, and leave three
in their natural state. On the fourth they build a house
within the zoning square-footage limits, and have it inspected.
Then they remodel, expanding the inside square footage. The
county seeks to have it undone. |
|
Posture: |
Suit seeks the removal of the offending construction, plus $750/day
of violation. Initial court finds this unconstitutional. Appeal. |
|
Issue: |
Does this zoning requirement represent an infringement on constitutional
rights? |
|
Holding: |
No. |
|
Rule: |
There's a rational basis here. |
|
Reasoning: |
This is very nice area, so it is rational to limit development. There
are no suspect criteria here, so rational basis is enough. |
