The city оf Sаn Mаrcоs is in а state that was оnce part of Mexico; the city was built around a historic mission. As a result, some of the retail stores and other commercial buildings in the city were constructed in the Mission style of architecture, featuring adobe walls, large wooden beams, wrought iron railings, and red tile roofs. Most commercial buildings in the city, however, used the same architectural styles that would be seen in any other US city. Last year, the city council adopted a new ordinance which provided: “All new commercial buildings must be constructed in the Mission style of architecture.” The ordinance further required that the architectural plans for any new commercial building must be approved by a city commission before a building permit would be issued. Alana, an artist, wanted to build a new art supply store on a lot she owned in the city; her planned store would consist of a large red dome made out of shiny plastic material. After the commission rejected Alana’s plan, she brought suit against the city, asserting that the ordinance was invalid. Who will win the lawsuit?
Glen оwned а twо-stоry house thаt hаd been built on a ¼ acre lot in 1937; the house was in such bad condition that the city ordered that it be destroyed. The city zoning ordinance, as adopted in 1940, placed the house in the R-1 zone, where the only permitted use was a single-family home. The ordinance also prohibited any house higher than one story and required at least 2,000 square feet of living space in each house. Toby purchased the property from Glen, intending to tear down the old house and build a new one on the lot. But Toby soon discovered that the subsurface of the lot consisted almost entirely of extremely hard rock, where it was impossible to build the foundation required for a modern house―except in one small area where a house with 1,000 square feet of living space could be built. Toby decided to solve this problem by building a two-story house, with each floor containing 1,000 square feet. He applied to the city for a height variance that would allow him to build a two-story home. Vera, who owned a home on the same street, objected to the request on the basis that it would “adversely affect the character of the neighborhood” of single-story homes. How will the city respond to Toby’s request for a variance?
