: First Amendment CenterHigh court won't review Colo. church-zoning flap
By By The Associated Press
BOULDER, Colo. ? The U.S. Supreme Court has rejected Boulder County's request that it review a land-use dispute with a church.
County officials told the Daily Camera that the high court had decided yesterday against weighing in on the matter.
The county was appealing the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals May 2010 decision backing plans by the Rocky Mountain Christian Church in Niwot to nearly double the size of its 128,000-square-foot campus. The church challenged the county's denial of the plans, citing the federal Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act.
The law protects churches from discriminatory land-use laws.
Boulder County said it treated the church's application the same way it treated others and that it was denied because it would violate land-use codes.
