>>The activity being restricted is traffic<<

Wrong. Traffic is not mentioned ONCE in the statute.

The statute prohibits “religious groups” from meeting.

They are being targeted for the content of the meeting, not the number of those in attendance.

Unconstitutional.

How about we all look at the actual code. Here it is:

You click on Title 9, then Chapter 3. I actually cannot discern where the applicable statue can be found. I guess the city is saying the couple are running a church outside of the area zoned for that purpose. I cannot find the exact verbiage as stated in the article.

-- The statute prohibits "religious groups" from meeting. --

That happens to be the effect in this case, but that is just becuase this group is couducting something denominated "religious." The same state prohibits the use (which is really a pattern of use) if they were the Rotarians, having two BBQ's a week.

-- Traffic is not mentioned ONCE in the statute. --

I'm not going to read the entire statutory scheme for the community, and I urge you to not jumpt to the conclusion that "traffic" and "character of the neighborhood" are not legal criteia in what is enforcible, and what is not.

-- Unconstitutional. --

BOO!
