High Watch Recovery Center, Inc. v. Planning & Zoning Commission

Summary

The court held that the proposed greenhouse would impermissibly expand the plaintiff's preexisting nonconforming agricultural-therapy use by changing it from seasonal to year-round. Substantial evidence supported the commission's determination because the greenhouse would permit cultivation during months when outdoor production was otherwise unavailable. The court reversed the Appellate Court and directed affirmance of the trial court's dismissal.
