Northpointe Plaza v. City of Rochestergreen
minn · 1991 · cited in 5 Minnesota opinions naming this issue, 1995–2016
2 sentences

2002Likewise, in Northpointe, the court concluded the city actions were not egregious and irrational and did not state a substantive due process claim, despite the city’s reliance on an expert with an obvious conflict of interest, and rejection of the only credible expert studies and recommendations. 465 N.W.2d at 691 .

1995In contrast, the record demonstrates that the city was following requirements in its code of ordinances when it denied Kottschade’s conveyance applications. 4 On this record, the *309 city’s actions clearly do not meet the conduct thresholds required by Northpointe Plaza, 465 N.W.2d at 691 , to support a substantive due process claim.

Boutin v. LaFleurgreen
minn · 1999 · cited in 3 Minnesota opinions naming this issue, 2011–2024
2 sentences

2019For a law to be upheld against a substantive-due-process claim, the rational-basis test requires: "(1) that the act serve to promote a public purpose, (2) that the act not be an unreasonable, arbitrary or capricious interference with a private interest, and (3) that the means chosen bear a rational relation to the public purpose sought to be served." Id. at 718 (quotations omitted).

2011See Boutin v. LaFleur, 591 N.W.2d 711, 717-18 (Minn.1999) (citing a U.S. Supreme Court case considering a federal equal protection issue to outline the rational basis test we applied to a substantive due process claim).

Littlefield v. City Of Aftongreen
ca8 · 1986 · cited in 4 Minnesota opinions naming this issue, 1989–1995
2 sentences

1995The supreme court has recognized that “a substantive due process claim in the zoning context exists, if at all, only in extraordinary situations and will not be found in ‘run-of-the-mill’ zoning disputes.” Id. at 690 .

1991To the extent that Condor recognized a substantive due process claim in the zoning context, the case clarified Lemke v. Cass County, Nebraska, 846 F.2d 469, 470-71 (8th Cir.1987) (en banc), which held the issue to be open, and in establishing the “egregious” and “irrational” threshold for such a claim to be actionable, Condor qualified the Eighth Circuit’s earlier ruling in Littlefield, 785 F.2d at 607 , which found the municipality’s “arbitrary” and “capricious” actions sufficient to state a claim for substantive due process.
