Gold Cross Ambulance Co. v. Kansas City

How later courts describe this case

• zoning ordinance which limited commercial development on certain land and thereby diminished land’s value did not effect a taking
• continuing failure to register with Selective Service was a separate offense
• “Unilateral expectation of being awarded a license is insufficient to sustain [a] procedural due process claim.”
• “regulation by the City itself satisfies the active supervision requirement ... since its regulation of ambulance service is exercised under the authorization and direction of state policy.”
• state action immunity shielded city from liability from awarding contract for redevelopment to private developer and from zoning ordinances restricting commercial development of outlying areas
• interstate sale of revenue bonds, among other things, meets “effect-on-commerce” jurisdictional requirement
• ambulance service operated by city hospital
