Utah County v. Baxter
The Supreme Court of Utah affirmed a district court injunction prohibiting Judy Baxter from operating a commercial lounge in a single-family residence located in a critical environmental zone. The court held that transferring the business from a destroyed commercial structure to the residential dwelling unlawfully expanded the property's nonconforming use rights under the county zoning ordinance. Additionally, the court rejected defenses of equitable estoppel and laches, ruling that zoning violations inherently justify injunctive relief without a specific showing of irreparable harm.
