Arrigoni Enterprises LLC v. Town of Durham, Durham Planning & Zoning Commission and Durham Zoning Board of Appeals: A land developer who sued after he was denied an application to build three industrial buildings in Durham was unable to convince a federal jury that the town violated the Equal Protection Clause of the U.S. Constitution when making its decision.
In 2005, developer Thomas Arrigoni applied for a permit from the town to proceed with plans to develop land he owned off Mountain Road. Though the rocky parcels were in an industrial zone, they were near a neighborhood with residential zoning.
