New York Court of Appeals

Daniel A. Udell v. Richard Haas, as Mayor of the Village of Lake Success

February 28, 196821 N.Y.2d 463

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals held that the Village of Lake Success's 1960 rezoning ordinance (No. 60) was invalid as it failed to conform to the statutory requirement that zoning be in accordance with a comprehensive plan, constituted discriminatory spot zoning, and was ultra vires. The Court reversed the Appellate Division and remanded for further proceedings.
