Planned Parenthood taking Henrietta Town Board to court

Henrietta, N.Y. — Planned Parenthood is suing the Henrietta Town Board over its denial of a special use permit for a medical facility on Jefferson Road.

Planned Parenthood says thetown board was arbitrary and capricious in its denial, essentially rewriting accepted zoning and land use rules to fit their own personal views.

Planned Parenthood cites the fact that other medical use facilities - in commercial B-1 zoning districts - have been approved.

Henrietta Town Supervisor Steve Schultz, in a statement to 13WHAM News, acknowledged the litigation, but said he was unable to comment on an ongoing lawsuit.
