ford v. Bd. of Cty. Comrs of Converse

Although Appellee Board of County Commissioners of Converse County had adopted a land use plan, it had not adopted any zoning resolutions. Instead, the board of county commissioners utilized the development regulations which were included in the Converse County Subdivision, Development and Flood Damage Prevention Regulations. The regulations provided that a landowner who desired to develop property within the county had to obtain a development permit. The county planner, however, was not authorized to grant a development permit when the desired use of the property was not in compliance with the land use plan. In that - Page 93 instance, the applicant had to apply to the board of county commissioners for a variance from the land use plan.
