lawdogs made some very good points. As I posted yesterday that would be a great outcome for everyone. The only hiccup is the zoning amendment application still will have to be filed with the town as the regulations on that zone pre-existed the activity and planning of a grow op on that site. I agree wholeheartedly the town should not have the right to come in like that and make it a gamechanger and residents regardless of whether this was corn or medical mj still would have a building where one exists, although admittedly minus the fences and security lights.

The value added remains in place and will require a successful zoning application. That is a tougher call to predict because non lawful nonconforming would apply to that aspect as they already knew they were under that restriction from the time the plans were announced.

A compromise could be the likely result as any legal action could go both ways and the town could easily counter sue and the only winners would be the law firms.
