Spalding County v. Marvin E. Johnson Construction Co.
257 Ga. 101; 355 S.E.2d 664; 1987 Ga. LEXIS 756
Spalding County v. Marvin E. Johnson Construction Co.
Opinion of the Court
1. The failure of a property owner to challenge within thirty days the rezoning of his property from a higher density use to a lower density use (sometimes called “downzoning”) precludes him from judicial relief. Village Centers v. DeKalb County, 248 Ga. 177 (281 SE2d 522) (1981). Wilson v. City of Snellville, 256 Ga. 734 (352 SE2d 759) (1987).
2. This holding is without prejudice to Johnson’s pending rezoning application.
Judgment reversed.
