Description
This case presents issues arising under the establishment clause of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, and under article I, section 4 and article XVI, section 5 of the California Constitution. The question on which review was granted asks: Does a state law granting religiously affiliated organizations the authority to declare themselves exempt from historic preservation laws violate the establishment clause of the United States Constitution or any of the California Constitution religion clauses. The question arises in the context of a facial challenge to Government Code sections 25373 and 37361, which have the effect of granting an exemption from landmark preservation laws to noncommercial property owned by a religious organization that objects to landmark designation and determines in a public forum that the organization would suffer a substantial hardship if the property were designated an historic landmark.
