Board of Zoning Adjustment, Platte County, Missouri and CKC Holdings, LLC. Missouri Cases

Laurie Lewis and other neighboring property owners appealed the circuit court's judgment affirming the Platte County Board of Zoning Adjustment's (BZA) decision to grant CKC Holdings, LLC a Special Use Permit (SUP) for a self-storage facility. Appellants argued the BZA erred because the proposed special use was contrary to law, failing to meet Zoning Order standards, and was barred by res judicata, collateral estoppel, and law of the case due to prior denials. The appellate court affirmed, holding that the BZA had discretionary authority to grant the SUP and that the preclusion doctrines did not apply given significant changes in the current application.
