Missouri Court of Appeals, Western District / Date unavailable
Phoenix Hospitality, INC. vs. Timothy Teddy
Phoenix Hospitality, Inc. appealed the circuit court's denial of its petition for a writ of mandamus, which sought to compel the Director of Development for the City of Columbia to approve a tract split application. The Director had denied the application, citing discretion under the Unified Development Code. The appellate court dismissed the appeal as moot, concluding that intervening events, specifically the condemnation of portions of the property and the owner's withdrawal of the application, rendered it impossible to grant effectual relief.
