Syllabus

Zoning use variance economic hardship. Court erred by affirming decision of board of zoning appeals to grant a use variance to operate a motorcycle dealership in a local retail business district because there was no evidence that the applicant would suffer any economic hardship if the requested variance was denied. The applicant admitted that there were other viable economic uses for the property, but that it rejected those because it believed the dealership was better suited to the area.
