Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 9 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“"An applicant seeking special exceptions and unusual uses needs only demonstrate to the decision-making body that its proposal is consistent with the county's land use plan; that the uses are specifically authorized as special exceptions and unusual uses in the zoning district; and that the requests meet with the applicable zoning code standards of review. If this is accomplished, then the application must be granted unless the opposition carries its burden, which is to demonstrate that the applicant's requests do not meet the standards and are in fact adverse to the public interest."”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“In summary, the Church presented sufficient evidence to carry its burden; the objectors presented only testimony and documents that support the Church’s application or which the courts have held not to be evidence. When the circuit court decided there was evidence (substantial, competent) to support the Commission’s denial of the application, it failed to apply the correct law as to the granting or denial of special exceptions and unusual uses, and failed to apply the correct law as to what constitutes competent evidence in such cases. As a result we quash the circuit court’s order and remand the case with instructions to the circuit court to direct the Commission to remove the limitation to K-6 and 150 students and to grant the application with grades K-12 and 524 students.”
