Board of Zoning Adjustment of St. Louis County, Missouri Missouri Cases

Organic Remedies Mo, Inc. appealed the denial of a nonuse variance by the St. Louis County Board of Zoning Adjustment to construct a drive-through lane for its medical marijuana dispensary. The circuit court denied Organic's writ of certiorari. On appeal, Organic argued the Board applied the wrong standard, that its decision lacked substantial evidence, and that it failed to issue adequate findings of fact and conclusions of law. The appellate court affirmed the Board's decision, finding that Organic failed to demonstrate practical difficulties and that the Board's findings were sufficient for review.
