HUNTINGTON BRANCH, NAACP V. TOWN OF HUNTINGTON
844 F.2d 926 (2d Cir. 1988)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This was a dispute over zoning regulations.
FACTS: NAACP (P) contends that Town of Huntington (D) violated Title VIII (42. U.S.C.
Section 3601-3631) by restricting private construction of multifamily housing to a narrow
urban renewal area and by refusing to rezone the parcel outside this area where P wished to
build multifamily housing. P wanted to construct an integrated multifamily housing apartment
complex in a virtually all white neighborhood. The area where multifamily housing was
authorized was 52% minority. P wanted to rezone certain property but was met with a
substantial and overwhelming public outcry to do so. Petitions bearing 4,100 signatures were
submitted and a protest meeting drew 2,000 people. The Town Board rejected the proposed
rezoning and P sued. The lower court made a number of findings logically in favor of P but
gave the verdict to D. P appealed.
