Shalom Resource Center, petitioner, vs. Martinsburg Board of Zoning Appeals
PA - John McFarland; J - David Sanders
* The petitioner claims the Board of Zoning Appeals placed restrictions on the resource center based on incorrect information. The petition claims the center's neighbors did not want it to provide services to the homeless, so they gave false information to the defendant and claimed that the center's clients were causing increased criminal activity. The petitioner seeks a reversal of the board's decision so the center may continue to operate under its original special exception.
