High Ridge Real Estate Owner, LLC v. Board of Representatives

Summary

The concurrence agrees with the result that the Board of Representatives properly reached the merits of the zoning amendment and that the matter should be remanded to the trial court. It also agrees that the Stamford Charter gives the Zoning Board authority to validate a protest petition before referring it to the Board of Representatives. The concurrence disagrees with the majority's reasoning that the Board's authority depends on the petition's validity, asserting that the signature requirement is directory and that courts should not interfere with the local legislative process by examining how signatures were counted.
