Supreme Court of New Jersey

James H. Lumund, Plaintiff-Appellant v. Board of Adjustment of the Borough of Rutherford, and Clarence Hardin…

May 15, 19504 N.J. 577

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey affirmed the lower courts' denial of a variance for a motor vehicle service station in a residential zone. The Court held that the plaintiff failed to demonstrate a unique, undue hardship required for a variance, that the statutory amendment limited the Board's authority, and that the zoning ordinance was constitutional and sufficiently broad to encompass such service stations.
