Supreme Court of Colorado November 25, 2002, 01SC808, 01SC878 (Hillside Community Church, S.B.C. v. Olson)

Justice RICE

delivered the Opinion of the Court.

In this combined proceeding, we granted certiorari to determine whether the requirement in the Golden Municipal Code (GMC) that a public hearing be held before a special use permit is issued affords neighboring landowners a property right in that procedure warranting the protection of Fourteenth Amendment due process guarantees.
