In the case of Nectow v. City of Cambridge et al., 1927, the U.S Supreme Court ruled in favor of Julius Nectow who challenged a zoning ordinance by the city that divided his land into two zones - residential and industrial. The court found that there was no substantial relation between the ordinance and public health, safety, morals or general welfare which are legitimate interests protected under police power. Therefore, it violated Nectow's Fourteenth Amendment rights to due process as it deprived him from using his property effectively without any valid governmental interest being served. This decision is significant because it established a precedent for judicial review over local zoning laws on constitutional grounds.

In the Nectow v. City of Cambridge case, there was no dissenting opinion recorded. The decision by the Supreme Court was unanimous in favor of Nectow, ruling that his Fourteenth Amendment rights had been violated by the city's zoning ordinance which restricted him from using his property as he wished without a valid public purpose. This landmark case established important precedents for land use and zoning laws in relation to constitutional rights and limitations on government power over private property.
