In Mаy 1995, Mаriо purchаsed a twо-stоry building used for a take-out only pizza shop on the first floor and three apartment units on the second floor. These uses were permitted under city’s original zoning ordinance and map, enacted in 1929, but not under the zoning changes enacted in 1989. On June 5, 1995, approximately one month after Mario purchased the subject property, Mario applied for and was issued a certificate of occupancy by the city building inspector, approving the use of the premises as a pizza shop and three apartment units.Starting on December 31, 1995, Mario made numerous improvements to the pizza shop including installation of new kitchen equipment, appliances, lighting fixtures, counterspace, and eat-in seating. Mario spent more than $85,000 for these building improvements.On May 15, 1996, the city building inspector inspected the premises, and shortly thereafter, the city revoked Mario’s certificate of occupancy. Mario appealed the revocation of the certificate of occupancy to the zoning board of adjustment, and the board held a hearing on June 21, 1996.Mario sought judgment against the city compelling reissuance of the certificate of occupancy. Will Mario be successful?
