How later courts describe this case
- holding that, in context of RLUIPA's broad definition of religious exercise, a land use regulation that imposes a substantial burden on religious exercise is one that renders that exercise "effectively impracticable"
- abandoning the definition in Mack v. O'Leary, 80 F.3d 1175 (7th Cir.1996)
- expenditure of even "considerable" time and money to engage in permit approval process was not a substantial burden
