Cederberg v. City of Rockford

Mr. JUSTICE THOMAS J. MORAN

delivered the opinion of the court:

Defendant City appeals from an order entered in a declaratory judgment action whereby the trial court held valid an ordinance granting local business zoning to certain property owned by plaintiff’s predecessor-in-title, but found void a restrictive covenant which limited the otherwise permissible local business uses allowed on that land.
