Euclid v. Ambler: A retrospective
It has been 60 years since the U.S. Supreme Court decided the landmark case of Euclid v. Ambler. In establishing the constitutionality of comprehensive zoning, Euclid specifically sanctioned the use of zoning by small municipalities in metropolitan areas. The decision also substantiated the credibility of planning analysis by recognizing that planning studies could rebut the complaint that zoning is inherently arbitrary and capricious. A review of the litigants' arguments and the Court's opinion suggests why the Euclid decision would permit the restructuring of local land use regulation today.
