aShortChronicle has learned that the next court date has been set in the lawsuit seeking to overturn the zoning approval of the proposed Griffith Street Hotel.
Plaintiffs are asking for a judgement on the pleadings regarding claims of procedural violations and noncomplince with the Davidson Planning Ordinance. A successful judgement would negate the need for further legal action.
This will be heard on this Wednesday, May 16th, at 11am in room 6310 at the Mecklenburg County Courthouse.
(This next hearing is a week earlier than originally expected. aShortChronicle had previously reported the next action would not take place until May 22nd. However, that is not longer correct.)
The original request for such a judgement was submitted by the attorney for the landowner and developer defendants. However, that request was submitted prior to the Town of Davidson even submitting its response to the plaintiffs claims. Requests for judgements like this must be sumitted once all the responses are subitted to the court.
Now that all of the responses are in place, the plaintiffs are the ones asking for a judge to make a decision.
Court hearings are open to the public. If this issue is important to you, citizens are welcome to attend.
