Town of Dillon, Colorado v. Yacht Club Condominiums Home Owners Association, Steve Delaney, and Robert R. Duncan

Summary

The court held that the Town of Dillon's ordinances eliminating overflow parking on nearby public rights-of-way were a valid exercise of municipal police power and did not violate substantive due process. The proper inquiry is whether the ordinances bear a reasonable relationship to legitimate governmental objectives, not whether they burden property owners or whether less burdensome alternatives existed. The ordinances reasonably furthered traffic safety, drainage, and completion of a recreational path, so the court reversed and remanded for review of the plaintiffs' remaining claims.
