The Society Created to Reduce Urban Blight (SCRUB) appeals from the April 25, 1995 order of the Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County (trial court) granting the motion of Intervenor Revere National Corporation (Revere) to quash SCRUB’S appeal of the Zoning Board of Adjustment of the City and County of Philadelphia’s (ZBA’s) grant of a “temporary” variance to Revere to erect a billboard less than 660 feet from a proposed right-of-way. The trial court held that SCRUB lacked standing to challenge the grant of the variance.
