April 25, 2015 I Volume 9 1 Issue 8 Zoning Bulletin <br />that "[t]he plain language of the last sentence of the [O]rdinance <br />imputes a tenant's abandonment of a lot within a mobile -home park on <br />the park's owner[, and, in doing so] . . . impermissibly deprives the <br />owner of the park of the right to continue the use of its entire property <br />in a manner that was lawful prior to the establishment of the zoning <br />ordinance." Thus, the court concluded that, pursuant to the due -process <br />clauses of the United States and Ohio Constitutions, that impermissible <br />deprivation of the vested private -property rights of mobile home park <br />owners defeated the Village's argument that the provision was <br />rationally related to its legitimate goals of protecting property values <br />and encouraging development. In short, the court concluded that the <br />last sentence of the Ordinance was an unconstitutional deprivation of a <br />property right and could not be applied. <br />See also: Cent. Motors Corp. v. Pepper Pike, 73 Ohio St. 3d 581, <br />1995 -Ohio -289, 653 N.E.2d 639 (1995). <br />Case Note: <br />The court found that the last sentence of the Ordinance could be severed from <br />the rest of the Ordinance. The court remanded the case to the trial court "to <br />determine what remedy [was] appropriate.
