Langer v. Board of County Commissioners

Summary

The court held that the county commissioners correctly interpreted the zoning code and reasonably classified the proposed mountain coaster as a Park and Recreation Facility rather than an Outdoor Commercial Recreation or Entertainment Establishment. Because the project was a low-intensity use occupying a small portion of the property and the record supported the commissioners’ findings, the court concluded that there was no abuse of discretion and affirmed the district court. The court also rejected arguments that the code amendment permitting commercial uses should be disregarded or that the more restrictive classification was required.
