Supreme Court of Vermont

In re Glen M. and Lisa Torres

April 27, 1990154 Vt. 233

Summary

The Supreme Court of Vermont held that the superior court exceeded its authority by converting an application for a permitted home occupation into an application for a conditional use permit without the statutorily required public notice. Because the notice requirement was mandatory and jurisdictional, the conditional use permit was void. The court reversed and remanded for the zoning board to consider any properly noticed conditional use application.
