New York Court of Appeals

Harold A. Nehrbas v. Incorporated Village of Lloyd Harbor

January 10, 19572 N.Y.2d 190

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the lower courts, holding that a village may locate and use facilities for governmental functions in any zoning district, and that the proposed uses of the barn—including municipal offices, a courtroom, police and highway equipment storage—are governmental, not proprietary, thus not barred by the residential zoning ordinance.
