Ben Lomond, Inc. v. Municipality of Anchorage

OPINION

COMPTON, Justice.

The case arises from the revocation of building permits for the renovation of the S & S Apartments in Anchorage. The building’s owner, Ben Lomond, Inc. (Ben Lo-mond), chose not to appeal the revocation or seek a variance. Ben Lomond claims that the Municipality unconstitutionally revoked its permits and, therefore, is liable in damages to Ben Lomond. The trial court denied Ben Lomond compensation reasoning that the Municipality of Anchorage (Municipality) was immune from an action for damages. We affirm the judgment on different grounds.
