AMES RENTAL PROPERTY ASSOCIATION V. CITY OF AMES
736 N.W.2d 255 (2007)
NATURE OF THE CASE: Association (P) appealed an order, which awarded summary judgment to
City (D), in P's action challenging the constitutionality of a city ordinance which defined
'family' as any number of related persons or no more than three unrelated persons.
FACTS: In an effort to stem the flow of students from Iowa State University into
residential areas, D passed a zoning ordinance which only permits single-family dwellings in
certain areas of the city. The ordinance defined a 'family' as any number of related persons
or no more than three unrelated persons. P brought a declaratory judgment against D claiming
the ordinance violates the equal protection clauses of the United States Constitution and
the Iowa Constitution. The district court granted summary judgment because it found the
ordinance was rationally related to a legitimate government interest. P appealed.
