1Opinion of the Court
LOWENSTEIN, Presiding Judge.
This appeal stems from a trial court determination that the single zoning ordinance (Ordinance No. 10) of the Village of Oakwood (Oakwood), which allows only single family residential usage in Oakwood: (1) is unconstitutional on due process grounds; and (2) as being infirm because Oakwood failed to develop a comprehensive plan under § 89.040, RSMo 1986. The Appellant, Oak-wood, is a small bedroom community located in Clay County, and is a suburb of Kansas City. Oakwood consists of 80 single family dwellings on 80 platted lots.
