General SummaryThis case is from a collection containing the full text of over 16,000 Supreme Court cases from 1793 to the present. The body of Supreme Court decisions are, effectively, the final interpretation of the Constitution. Only an amendment to the Constitution can permanently overturn an interpretation and this has happened only four times in American history.
County Bd. Of Arlington County, Virginia v. Richards, 434 U.S. 5 (1977)
County Bd. of Arlington County, Virginia v. Richards No. 76-1418 Decided October 11, 1977 434 U.S. 5
ON PETITION FOR WRIT OF CERTIORARI TO THE
SUPREME COURT OF VIRGINIA
Syllabus
Arlington County, Va., zoning ordinance prohibiting automobile commuters from parking in designated residential neighborhoods and providing for free parking permits for residents of such neighborhoods held not to violate the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. The distinction drawn between residents and nonresidents of a neighborhood is not invidious, and rationally promotes the ordinance’s stated legitimate objectives of reducing air pollution and other adverse consequences of automobile commuting, and of enhancing the quality of life in residential areas, such as by reducing noise and traffic hazards.
Certiorari granted; 217 Va. 645, 231 S.E.2d 231, vacated and remanded.
