Adams Outdoor Adv., Lp. v. Zoning Hearing Bd. of Smithfield Township

OPINION BY

Judge SIMPSON.

In this zoning appeal, we are asked whether the Court of Common Pleas of Monroe County (trial court) erred in affirming a decision of the Zoning Hearing Board of Smithfield Township (ZHB) that required Adams Outdoor Advertising, L.P. (Applicant) to remove two off-premises advertising billboards it leases.
