Missouri Court of Appeals, Eastern District / Mar 18, 2025
Arch Energy, L.C., Appellant, v. City of Brentwood, Respondent.
Arch Energy, L.C. challenged an amendment to the City of Brentwood's zoning ordinance that removed gas stations as a conditional use in a specific district. The trial court granted summary judgment for the City. On appeal, the Eastern District reversed the summary judgment as to Count I, holding that Arch Energy was not required to exhaust administrative remedies for its facial challenge to the ordinance and that the City failed to provide the statutorily mandated public notice for the amendment. The court also dismissed other points challenging the denial of Arch Energy's summary judgment motion for lack of appellate jurisdiction.
