Civil No. AMD 03-2260

MEMORANDUM OPINION In this removed action, a group of downtown Baltimore City commercial property owners challenge certain legislative enactments of the Mayor and City Council of Baltimore City ("the City"). Essentially, plaintiffs complain that the City acted unlawfully in respect to its grant of authority for the erection of "Times Square style" billboards on a City-owned sports arena in a downtown business district. The amended complaint asserts seven claims for declaratory and injunctive relief: five claims under state common law and statutory law for improper zoning; one claim under the Maryland Constitution; and one claim pursuant to 42 U.S.C.
