3. Bob owns a 2-acre parcel of land. He purchased 5 years ago to build his vacation cottage home when he retires next year. Earlier this year the City of Wander in an effort to control the rapid growth of the community and to maintain the country setting of the neighborhoods amended its existing zoning ordinance to limit the size of buildable lots to 4 acres. However, the ordinance did not modify the existing permission to place any size of RV or other mobile structure on city lands. Bob filed for an application for a building permit with the city when he was told his request was denied due to the zoning requirements. Bob contents that the zoning ordinance constitutes a deprivation of property without due process of law? Is he correct? Why or why not? Please briefly explain your answers.
Answer:
No. Bob is not correct in this situation. The zoning ordinance doesn't constitute deprivation of property without due process of law. The amended ordinance limit the size of buildable lots to 4 acres, but Bob owns only 2 acre of parcel land. There is permission to place any size of RV or other mobile structure on city land. The city has right to implement zoning ordinances, also to make amendments to it for community's betterment and it doesn’t interfere with his freedom.
