Canandaigua, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 748 § 748-27
Judicial review
Operative Text
Any person or persons jointly or severally aggrieved by any final order of the Zoning Board of Appeals may seek to have such order reviewed by the Supreme Court in the manner prescribed by Article 78 of the Civil Practice Laws and Rules and as otherwise provided for in the laws of the State of New York.
Section 748-27 of Canandaigua's Code of Ordinances establishes that any individual or group harmed by a final decision of the Zoning Board of Appeals has the right to seek judicial review of that decision. The review is conducted by the New York Supreme Court under the procedures set out in Article 78 of the Civil Practice Laws and Rules, as well as any other applicable state law. This provision ensures that ZBA decisions are not entirely insulated from outside scrutiny and that an external legal check exists.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 748-27, property owners and managers should be aware that a final Zoning Board of Appeals order—whether favorable or unfavorable to them—can be challenged in New York Supreme Court by any aggrieved party. Operators who receive a ZBA ruling that affects their property should document all proceedings and retain records of the board's final order, since those materials would be central to any Article 78 proceeding. Understanding that a ZBA decision may not be the last word helps compliant operators plan accordingly when making property or development decisions.
