Description
Plaintiffs, Ray Kinney and others, owners of residence property in the vicinity of thirteen lots in the city of Joliet, filed suit in the circuit court of Will County against said city seeking to restrain enforcement of an ordinance by which such lots were rezoned from a residence to a business classification. Upon motion, Hansen and Petersen Company, a corporation, as owner of twelve of said thirteen lots, was permitted to intervene as a party defendant and it adopted the answer of the city as its answer to the complaint. The circuit court, after hearing, found the issues for the defendants and dismissed the complaint for want of equity. The trial court certified that the validity of an ordinance is involved and plaintiffs appeal directly to this court. The general zoning ordinance of the city of Joliet was adopted in 1939 and classified the property in question as class ""R-I,"" defined as one-family residences. Most of the properties in the area were given a like classification although a few, including one just across the street, were classified ""B-I,"" defined as ""building local."" Other properties in the general area have, by ordinance, been reclassified from residential to business property.
