Missionaries of Our Lady of La Salette v. Village of Whitefish Bay

Wisconsin Supreme Court

Decided November 9, 1954PublishedCited by 42 opinions

1Opinion of the CourtSteinle, J.

The question presented is whether the use and occupancy conforms to that permitted by the ordinance in the district where the premises are located. The facts are not in dispute. There is no challenge of the validity of the zoning ordinance with respect to its enactment. The classification prescribed by the ordinance is not unreasonable.

The appellant strongly contends that the use and occupancy of the premises by the respondent is not that of a family such as is only permitted in district 1, but-that in fact its use is that of a convent, permitted only in districts 4, 5, and 6. ■
