So bible studies and churches are not allowed to put up signs?
Not only do we have religious discrimination, they also want to violate free speech.
Sounds like some real 1st amendment hatred going on in this burg.
“So bible studies and churches are not allowed to put up signs?”
In the neighborhood I’m in, all signs are banned by the CC&Rs except those required to be allowed by Arizona law.
Like I said the law was dumb and they should never be targeted. I do think that at some point activity within a house no longer becomes appropriate for a neighborhood. How many people in a house are too many people? How much on street parking, parking that blocks sidewalks etc becomes too much parking? How much noise coming from a house becomes too much noise (think music or even loud conversation/preaching)? How much smell coming from a house becomes too offensive for a neighborhood (think incense)? How much proselytizing/aggressive encounters with individuals walking by becomes too much? Can you set up a platform in your yard and conduct sermons with a loudspeaker - probably once or twice - How about everyday? How about Muslim call to prayers, church bells - how much - how often? How about running a soup kitchen out of your house for transients? How about offering transients a place to bunk (either inside the house or on your lawn in tents)? How about inviting junkies into your house to break their habit? How about taking in lots and lots of stray dogs and running an animal shelter out of your house? How about four or five families living in the same house? How about running a restaurant out of your house - a bed and breakfast, a hair styling salon, a school?
It's not just this one town.
You will find this zoning idiocy everywhere. The vast majority of the stuff is never enforced, but it is on the "books". These laws are conveniently found when someone steps on the wrong toes, or someone politically connected wants to create trouble for someone. The point being these restrictions to our freedoms should never be on the "books" in the first place.
