Court Appealed: United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio at Columbus

Lifestyle Communities, Ltd. and Worthington Campus LLC (collectively, “Lifestyle Communities”) bought a parcel of real estate in the City of Worthington, Ohio. It wanted to build a mix of residential and commercial spaces on the property. But before it could do so, Lifestyle Communities needed Worthington to approve its development plan and rezone the property. When the City did neither, Lifestyle Communities sued, bringing numerous federal and state constitutional claims and a state-law declaratory-judgment claim. The district court rejected every claim, some at the summary-judgment stage and others at the motion-todismiss stage. Lifestyle Communities now challenges the district court’s grant of summary judgment to Worthington on its regulatory-takings and declaratory-judgment claims. It also argues that the district court erred in dismissing its due-process claims. We affirm.
