If the decision of a zoning, planning board, etc. is capricious
and/or arbitrary it will be overturned even for a secular entity.
Well a Frankenstein has been created. Because the genie out of the
bottle is just what municipalities fear. It is difficult to regulate
or force a relgious organization to abide by the rules. Thus, because
they are freer to flout the rules - threatening that you are
interfering with their relgious freedom - municipalities figure it is
better to try to just keep them from starting up the operation in the
first place.
How about the abuse of religious organizations is exemption from
taxation for portions of their property not used for religious
purposes? Why couldn't portions of the property used by JSM to sell
items be taxed?
