Check Cashing Business Could Not Be Excluded by Zoning Measure

A zoning measure that prohibited check cashing establishments in a town’s business district was invalid.  Zoning is concerned with the use of the land, not with the identity of the user.  The Town did not try to show and did not argue that check cashing services are in the same category as “adult entertainment” uses which have been found to have “negative secondary effects” on the surrounding community.  The zoning measure could not be justified as a “public safety measure.”  Sunrise Check Cashing and Payroll Services, Inc. vs Town of Hempstead, No. 12, CtApp 2-14-13
