The City Attorney stated that the City of Cypress filed its briefs in opposition to the preliminary injunction motion filed by Cottonwood Christian Center. He stated four important points are argued: 1) the filing of the preliminary injunction motion constitutes a blatant form of judge shopping in order for Cottonwood to make its legal arguments in front of a Federal judge instead of a State judge where it belongs; 2) almost unanimous court cases are cited which hold that the redevelopment of blighted property is an important public use for property and the City, through its redevelopment agency, may acquire private property for disposition to a third party private property owner; 3) Cottonwood's much publicized invocation of the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act of 2000 is misplaced, because the act only applies to land use and land marking laws; and 4) Federal and State courts throughout the United States have repeatedly upheld the condemnation of land owned by a religious group and the right to condemn such property subject to only one limitation, where property is essential or unique from a religious standpoint. This case is set to be argued before the Federal District Court on August 5, 2002.
