How courts have described this case

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

  • “A statute may, of course, authorize variances in cases where no ordinance’s application to particular property is not unconstitutional.”
  • “Because a facially valid zoning ordinance may prove unconstitutional in application to a particular landowner, some device is needed to protect landowners’ rights without destroying the viability of zoning ordinances.”
  • \Proximity to the ocean is doubtless a 'privilege or convenience' coveted by every homeowner along the beach. But a zoning restriction upon that privilege does not constitute an 'unnecessary hardship' within the meaning of [the Code].\
