CBS owned a billboard on land that was subsequently annexed by the Village. The Village later conditioned a special use permit to develop the property on the removal of the billboard. This was made possible when the former owner of the property did not renew CBS’ lease upon its expiration.
CBS brought an action the Village and the former property owner, alleging violations of its constitutional rights to due process, equal protection of the law, and freedom of speech.
The court found no validity to any of CBS’ claims and dismissed the case.
