Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• declaring that “municipalities have no power to zone except as delegated to them by the Legislature”
• rejecting equal protection and due process challenges to a zoning ordinance regarding senior housing because the disputed age restriction was “a legislative judgment which ought not be disturbed by the judiciary unless it exceeds the bounds of reasonable choice”
• under equal protection analysis, classification must be sustained if justifiable “on any reasonably conceivable state of facts” and “[i]t does not matter that the classification may be mathematically imperfect or that it results in some inequities in practice”
