Class Action Lawsuit to change Ag to Residential

[Bob Orts]

If you buy property with an "A" zoning, shouldn’t one expect all allowable uses for that zoning to be potential neighbors? The zoning is what the zoning is, and I seriously doubt that the zoning on neighboring lands were secretly hidden from buyers. If you have your property rezoned from A to R, that won’t have any impact on the agricultural uses on neighboring properties if their zoning remains. Even if an entire area was changed, the current owners will still have the right to use the property as if under the old zoning until the sunset provisions of the change takes place, and in many cases that may be decades away.

If you begin that sort of here/there zoning change based on personal use of property, it could open changes beyond agricultural and residential. What if some gets changed to C or M? Are you prepared for that?
