Pawn 1st, LLC v. City of Phoenix

OPINION

OROZCO, Judge:

¶ 1 Pawn 1st, LLC (Pawn) appeals from the superior court’s judgment dismissing its complaint for special action review of a decision by the Board of Adjustment of the City of Phoenix (City) and its members (collectively, the Board) granting a variance to real party in interest William Jachimek, doing business as Central Pawn (Jachimek). Because we conclude that Jaehimek’s application for a variance to operate a pawn shop within 500 feet of a residential district does not meet the necessary requirements established by statute and ordinance, we reverse the ruling and remand.
