How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- referring to Lafayette College v. Zoning Hearing Board of the City of Easton, 588 A.2d 1323 (1991)
- reversing the grant of a special exception because “a promise to come into compliance is not evidence to support the board’s grant of the special exception”
- the proper function of a condition imposed upon a special exception is to reduce the adverse impact of that permitted use
- the standard to be observed is whether the plan as submitted complies with the specific ordinance requirements at the time the application is submitted; a promise to comply with the ordinance is insufficient
- “To be entitled to receive a special exception it [is] incumbent on the [applicant] to come forward with evidence detailing how it [is] going to be in compliance with the requirements necessary to obtain [that] special exception.”
