The initial move by city officials of San Juan Capistrano was a local decision. But religious freedom is a sacred right written into the Bill of Rights.

This is the same type of situation regarding local, state and federal infringement of the 2nd amendments RKBA. Trampling on the Constitution is what this is. Plain and simple.
They are probably doing it under the excuse of causing parking congestion.
