Abstract
On May 17, the Tenth Circuit affirmed a district court judge’s decision that the evidence presented at trial was sufficient to find that Boulder County violated the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act, 42 U.S.C. § 2000cc (RLUIPA) when it denied a special use permit to the Rocky Mountain Christian Church (RMCC). The church wished to expand its facility to accommodate a growing congregation. The catch was that the church is located in the county’s agricultural zone, which the community, through its comprehensive plan and implementing regulations, desires to protect from urban-scale development. .
