Viso v. State of California

In Viso v. State of California (1979) 92 Cal.App.3d 15, plaintiff alleged that the purpose of the restrictive zoning was to reduce value of property for subsequent acquisition at reduced values. The Viso court cited the general rule that purpose or motive of the agency passing an ordinance is irrelevant since the validity of the ordinance rests not on subjective motivation but on objective effect.
