Scientology Sues Atlanta Suburb Over Zoning Denial

The Church of Scientology yesterday filed a federal lawsuit against Sandy Springs, Georgia, challenging zoning limits the city has imposed on the Church. According to AP, Scientology wanted to add a fourth floor to an office building in the Atlanta suburb, and move the Georgia state headquarters there. Sandy Springs City Council voted to allow the Church to move into the building, but rejected the request that it be able to add an additional floor.
