It prohibits zoning being applied to churches?

Probably not an issue here since I don't see anything in the article whereby the Fromm's meetings are specifically designated as a "church," either colloquially or legally. As such, from the wording provided in the city code itself, their meetings don't qualify, and therefore aren't regulated by that code. From the viewpoint of what the municipal code actually says, their meetings seem to have about the same legal existence as somebody having a football game party at their home every Sunday.

Your analogy is ridiculous and you know it.

This is a private residence.

I can't believe that a "conservative" is arguing for government control of private property and religious issues.

I am not now, nor will I ever be, one of governments Pavlov dogs.
