New York Court of Appeals

In the Matter of the Town of Bedford v. Village of Mount Kisco, Dominic A. Amuso, Intervenors-Appellants

November 21, 197333 N.Y.2d 178

Summary

The Court held that the Town of Bedford has statutory standing under Westchester County Administrative Code §452 to challenge the Village of Mount Kisco's rezoning and that the rezoning was not arbitrary or capricious, affirming the village's authority to adapt its comprehensive plan without a formal amendment. The decision reverses the Appellate Division's affirmation of the lower court and dismisses Bedford's petition; a dissent argued the opposite.
