Schooldev E., LLC v. Town of Wake Forest

Summary

The Court held that the Town improperly denied Schooldev's applications for major subdivision and site plan permits for a proposed charter school. The ordinance was unclear about whether connectivity to every surrounding residential area was required, so the Court construed the uncertainty in favor of the free use of land and concluded that Schooldev presented sufficient evidence to satisfy its initial burden. The Court reversed the Court of Appeals and remanded with instructions to approve both applications.
