Consolidated Pre-Stressed Concrete, Inc. v. County of Volusia

Citations: 633 So. 2d 541; 1994 Fla. App. LEXIS 1948; 1994 WL 72262Docket: No. 93-2048

Court: District Court of Appeal of Florida; March 10, 1994; Florida; State Appellate Court

Narrative Opinion Summary

The trial court issued a temporary injunction against Consolidated Pre-Stressed Concrete, Inc. and F. Browne Gregg, prohibiting them from operating their concrete batch plant until they complied with certain permit requirements set by Volusia County. These requirements were based on the Land Development Code, Ordinance No. 88-3, and the Volusia County Zoning Ordinance No. 80-8. Upon review, the appellate court reversed the temporary injunction concerning Ordinance No. 88-3, noting that Volusia County's request for the injunction specifically targeted violations of the Zoning Ordinance and that the issues raised by the County regarding setbacks did not involve Ordinance No. 88-3. The court concluded that compliance with this ordinance was not a relevant issue in this case. Thus, the order was reversed as it related to the Land Development Code, while being affirmed in all other respects. The case was remanded for further proceedings.
