Islamic Center and City of Norwalk, Connecticut Reach Proposed Settlement in RLUIPA Suit

Al Madany Islamic Center and the Norwalk Zoning Commission have agreed to the terms of a proposed settlement stemming from the Commission's 2012 denial of the Islamic Center's proposal to construct a 27,000 square-foot mosque and multi-purpose hall on 1.5 acres in a residential neighborhood. The U.S. Department of Justice intervened in the case after the City challenged the constitutionality of the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act , and reportedly encouraged the parties to settle.
