Supreme Court of Alabama

Anne Bates Gibbons v. Town of Vincent

December 21, 20122012 Ala. LEXIS 170

Summary

The Alabama Supreme Court affirmed the circuit court’s summary‑judgment ruling, holding that the Town of Vincent complied with the statutory notice requirements for its 2009 zoning amendment, that the annexation of adjacent land did not require the same notice because it was not a rezoning, and that the Town’s rezoning authority vested in the council, not the planning commission, was consistent with Alabama zoning statutes.
