JWM CaAgrllftde DAILY PILOT NEWPORT BEACH -A city ordinance that singles out parking meters adjacent to churches violates the separation of church and state, a lawsuit alleges. Newport Beach resident John Nelson on Friday filed a lawsuit in the United States Court's Central District arguing that the a,Y·s policy of not enforcing parking meters next to churches between 8 a.m. and 1 WINTER WAVES p.m. Sunday is unconstitutional. "'My contention is that it's a viola- tion or the Establishment Clause.· Nelson said. "'It dflects the fabric of our dtamocratic system, what our country ts founded on. We're found- ed on keeping ~late out of religious actiVJlles to guarantee freedom of worship.· Nelson started by meepng with City Atty.

We expressed our position that there were legturnate reasons for this resolution • An ordinance passed in the 1970s provides special parking-meter enforcement limes near tour houses of worship, oty traffic engineer Rich Edmonston said.
