Zoning Variance Appeal Regarding Retaining Wall Height and Drainage
Suisse · Canton de Vaud (CH-VD)
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAA litigant appealed a court order that upheld a denial of a petition for judicial review concerning a zoning board's decision to grant a variance for constructing a retaining wall, arguing the board's action was arbitrary and capricious because the structure exceeded permissible height limits and impacted drainage, which constituted an unauthorized expansion of a pre-existing nonconforming use. The appellate court affirmed the lower court's decision, reasoning that the evidence supported the board's finding that the wall's height, while technically exceeding the initial setback variance, was reasonably necessary for the intended stabilization and use of the property given the topographical challenges, and that the board adequately addressed the drainage concerns, thus demonstrating a rational basis for its determination that the variance was not contrary to the public welfare or zoning regulations.
