Description
This is an appeal from a final judgment of the Circuit Court of Jefferson County denying the application of the appellants
(hereinafter the "property owners") 1 for a change of zoning. The property owners sought a change in zoning of a 2.4-acre parcel of undeveloped land that lies in the southeast quadrant
of the intersection of Interstate Highway 65 and West Lakeshore Drive. The parcel lies west of Green Springs Highway and south
of West Lakeshore Drive in the unincorporated territory of Jefferson County. Although the county planning staff and the commission
member representing this area of the county recommended a change in zoning from "C-P preferred commercial" (a classification
permitting office buildings, but not permitting automobile service stations) to "C-1 commercial" (a classification permitting
service stations), the Jefferson County Commission denied the application for change. The property owners brought an action
in the circuit court to review the decision of the county commission, and, after an extensive hearing, the trial court denied
relief. This appeal followed.
