Neighbors filed petition for certiorari, seeking to challenge opening of proposed residential treatment center for teenage girls.
The Fairfax Circuit Court dismissed the action for lack of standing, and neighbors appealed.
The Supreme Court held that neighbors had standing to seek judicial review of zoning approval of residential treatment center.
Neighbors had standing to seek judicial review of zoning approval of residential treatment center for teenage girls, where neighbors lived immediately adjacent to the center, neighbors alleged that their property values would be diminished by the operation of the facility in the otherwise entirely residential neighborhood, and neighbors alleged that their enjoyment of their property would be diminished by the fact that there would be three shifts of staff coming and going, and residents and visitors likewise driving to and from the property.
