Landowner sought review of city’s decision to deny variance and special exception application. The Court of Common Pleas. Landowner appealed.
The Commonwealth Court held that:
- City zoning code provision permitting “one or two-family detached dwellings,” without limiting how many detached dwellings were permitted on each lot, was ambiguous, and was to be construed in favor of landowner, and
- Landowner was not entitled to a deemed approval of special exception request.
