Tillitson v. City of Urbana

Defendant, the city of Urbana, appeals from a decree of the circuit court of Champaign County which found the city’s zoning ordinance invalid insofar as it restricted to residential use certain real estate owned by the plaintiffs, Swayne Tillitson, Marilyn C. McLintock, Phyllis Fritchey, Joseph A. Yeazel, and Edith B. Yeazel, and which enjoined the municipality from interfering with the erection of a gasoline filling station upon the premises.
