Overview: In a recent Bethlehem Town Council meeting, a portion of the debate centered on a proposed Curative Amendment petition challenging the constitutionality of a zoning ordinance that restricts building length to 180 feet for residential apartments in the CL (Commercial Limited) zone. Attorney James Preston, representing the petitioner, contended that this restriction violated his client’s constitutional rights, arguing that the limitation served no valid public purpose and was unfairly applied only to residential apartments. The case was supported by evidence including testimonies from professionals in engineering, architecture, and real estate development, as well as comparisons with zoning practices in neighboring cities.
