Federal Court Case Opens the Door for Exclusion of Industrialized Buildings

The City of Gainesville prohibits Industrialized Buildings in all the residential zoning districts of the City except for the high density urban districts or agricultural land not zoned for residential development. The current zoning categorizes Industrialized Buildings in the same use case as manufactured housing or mobile homes. And the City has adopted a new ordinance that segregates Industrialized Buildings as a separate use, and prohibits them in all of the Single Family Residential zoning districts. Building Systems Network has petitioned the United States Federal Court for relief of these illegal zoning restrictions in the case of two homes we are building, When the Georgia Superior the court denied the Suit on a narrow legal interpretation. We had appeal the court ruling, but we lost the appeal approval heard by the Hall County Superior Court on October 5th 2006. If this Superior Court ruling is not overturned by the Federal courts, the Industrialized Building industry will suffer major setbacks in Georgia and maybe other states as well. If another case happens to arise maybe it's your home this time or your builder in any city in the US. Once Government council searches all US legal Data files this case will come up. If it's lost what's your cost on lost business? The Commissioner of the DCA has written a letter to the City Council informing them they are violating state regulations and we have filed 5 Petitions with the Gainesville City Council requesting the restrictions on Industrialized Buildings be removed. The State won't enforce this law and has no grounds to stop this City. This is our fight and must it must be won by this industry it's a great fight and can be won with your help.
