Docket entry
052139 Renkey v. County Bd. of Arlington County 09/15/2006 In this zoning dispute, the circuit court erred by treating certain language in a county zoning ordinance as a preamble and not an operative part of the ordinance. The language in question sets out mandatory eligibility criteria for a certain zoning classification, and the county acted in direct violation of the ordinance by re-zoning certain property without first complying with the eligibility criteria. The re-zoning was void and of no effect. The circuit court's judgment is reversed and the case is remanded for further proceedings.
