Steve’s Auto Body and Repair, LLC, a towing company, appealed a decision from the Superior Court of New Jersey which granted summary judgment in favor of the Township of Gloucester. The dispute arose over an ordinance that required towing operators to have storage facilities within a five-mile radius from the township’s center point. Steve’s Auto Body was denied a license as its facility was located slightly beyond this limit. The court found no evidence of discriminatory intent by the township and upheld the ordinance as reasonable and non-exclusionary. The appellate division affirmed the lower court’s decision, emphasizing that ordinances are presumed valid unless proven arbitrary or unreasonable.
