A federal judge has sided with Shawnee, dismissing a lawsuit over the city’s controversial co-living ban, which limits how many unrelated people can live together. David Deerson, an attorney with the Pacific Legal Foundation representing the property management company suing the city, told The Star he plans to appeal the ruling to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 10th Circuit. The city adopted the ordinance last year, prohibiting more than three unrelated people from living together in a single residence. The city only allows more people to live together if they are blood relatives or related by marriage, adoption or guardianship. The ordinance says if one resident is not related to anyone in their household, then the entire household is considered unrelated.
