Probably not. Definitely not if there were just a few meetings. But if you asked whether or not zoning could regulate a twice-weekly meeting of 50 Freepers at one residential location, my answer would be that it depends on the zoning, and on the existing character of the residential neighborhood.
Take care. I’m not wasting anymore time on this! LOL
The articular states
“According to the Dispatch, the Fromms live in a neighborhood with large homes and have a corral, barn, pool and huge back lawn on their property, so parking and noise aren’t a problem.”
These are probably Million dollar plus homes in the neighborhood.
It also states
“, the city’s code-enforcement department is reactive, meaning they only respond to complaints.”
Somebody is complaining about the meetings. All parties in this case seem to have a nice incomes.
Check your cities codes, I would expect most cities have similar codes.
Restricting scheduled meets of any groups of a certain size or larger in a private residence. Size and how often will be the common factor in these laws.
