Summary
Kingdom First Ministries leased property in November 2007 in an area of Atlanta’s West End that was zoned for churches. After applying for a business license the following month, the church was informed that the area had been rezoned and that they would be required to apply for a special use permit. The church applied for the permit, but the city subsequently denied it. ADF attorneys and allied atrorneys later secured a consent order and partial dismissal of the case. The city of Atlanta agreed to change an unconstitutional ordinance that placed a burden on the church.
