Docket entry
040616 Patton v. City of Galax 03/03/2005 In companion equity and law cases concerning a board of zoning appeals' denial of a conditional use permit for a parcel of real property, the property owners failed to establish that a prior nonconforming use of another portion of their property had also sufficiently existed with respect to the portion at issue and that this portion was manifestly arranged or designed for such use when the zoning ordinance was adopted. Denial of the conditional use permit was neither plainly wrong nor in violation of the purposes and intent of that ordinance. The trial court's judgments are affirmed.
