OPINION OF THE COURT
SLOVITER, Circuit Judge.
At issue is the validity of an ordinance of Bass River Township, N.J., that bans “floating homes.” The plaintiffs are the owner of a marina and a builder of houseboats, who together had planned to sell and moor boats. They were unable to do so because the township adopted the exclusionary ordinance as a response to the plaintiffs’ proposal. Plaintiffs challenged the constitutionality of the measure in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey. The district court rejected their challenge. We will affirm.
