RH McLeod Family LLC v. Westerly Zoning Board of Review; 4 Spray Rock, LLC v. Westerly Zoning Board of Review

Summary

The Supreme Court quashed the Superior Court’s judgment, holding that the plain language of Westerly’s zoning ordinance bars the Nordstroms from demolishing their nonconforming house and obtaining a dimensional variance to rebuild a new nonconforming structure. The Court found the trial justice erred in affirming the zoning board’s decision.
