class” of persons and the requirements of the City of Allentown Zoning Ordinance
constitute a governmental burden which is impermissible under applicable statutes.
Applicant files a challenge to the substantive validity of the Allentown City Zoning
Ordinance on the basis that it is exclusionary with respect to the proposed use under
Section 909.1 (a) (1) of the Municipalities Planning Code.

All persons interested or those desiring to protest against the allowance of the above
appeal may appear and be heard. The appeal listed above may be reviewed at the
