B. S. ENTERPRISES, INC., APPELLANT,
v.
DADE COUNTY, A POLITICAL SUBDIVISION OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA, AND BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF METROPOLITAN DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA, APPELLEES

Fla. 3d DCA | 1977-02-08
No. 76-624
Before PEARSON, BARKDULL and HAVERFIELD, JJ.
342 So. 2d 117 Florida District Court of Appeal, Third District (1977) Caution
Cited by 19 cases


Opinion of the Court
PER CURIAM.

PER CURIAM.

B. S. Enterprises, Inc., appeals a judgment in the circuit court denying its peti tion for writ of certiorari, which sought quashal of a zoning resolution of the Dade County Board of County Commissioners denying a petition of B. S. Enterprises, Inc., for a “special exception” for additional construction upon a non-conforming use.

The circuit court’s denial of the petition for writ of certiorari has not been shown to be a departure from the essential requirements of law and the judgment of the circuit court is affirmed. The Board of County Commissioners acting under the zoning regulations had the responsibility of determining whether the granting of the special exception would adversely affect the public interest. Cf. Rural New Town, Inc. v. Palm Beach County, 315 So. 2d 478 (Fla. 4th DCA 1975). See also Veal v. Leimkuehler, 249 S.W. 2d 491 (Mo.App.1952); Carroll Construction Company v. Kansas City, 278 S.W. 2d 817 (Mo.App.1955); and Dunbar v. Board of Zoning Adjustment, 387 S.W. 2d 164 (Mo.App.1965).

Affirmed.
