Big Win for Marin County’s Agriculture Zoning

November 25, 1988

The Ninth Circuit rejects the expansion of urban land uses into Marin County’s “beautiful rural landscape,” holding that the landowner’s facial challenge and equal protection claim are barred by the statute of limitations and the County’s zoning is neither arbitrary or irrational. (Barancik v. County of Marin, 872 F.2d 834 (9th Cir. 1988).)
