Judge Keeps Highview-Central Zoning In Place For City Property
Common Pleas Judge P P Boll upheld the city zoning for the Highview Realty Co. tract at E Central Avenue, denying a declaratory judgment to reclassify the site from residential to business for a proposed neighborhood shopping center. The ruling reasons that the ordinance is not clearly arbitrary or discriminatory and defers to legislative judgment.
