The 1st amendment is not going to help them AT ALL.

Well, if previous cases where this sort of thing has been at issue are any indication, actually it will.

-- if previous cases where this sort of thing has been at issue are any indication, actually it will. --

Previous cases have a mixed bag of fact patterns, such as being denied a church use permit in an area zoned commercial / retail.

A provision of RLUIPA bars government officials from imposing land-use restrictions that treat religious groups "on less than equal terms with" nonreligious groups.
For "Ears" benefit, note that it is permissible to have land-use restrictions apply to religious groups.
