How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• allowing applicants to bypass the statutory administrative procedure would render that procedure meaningless
• rejecting an argument that an appeal of a denial of a rezoning application was a declaratory judgment action seeking interpretation of statute because the argument “exalt[ed] form over substance”
• landowner was not entitled to have his property rezoned to conform to the city’s comprehensive plan map
• action for declaratory judgment, seeking order commanding city to enact zoning ordinance under Title 67, Chapter, 65, Idaho Code, was outside mandatory administrative procedures set forth therein, and thus plaintiff could not pursue other methods of judicial review
