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

Summary

The court held that the Zoning Board, not the Board of Representatives, had authority to determine the validity of a protest petition before referral. It nevertheless held that the petition was valid because the signatures of 120 sole landowners and 240 joint landowners counted separately, yielding at least 360 signatures under the charter. The judgment was reversed and remanded for review of the Board of Representatives' merits decision concerning the zoning amendment.
