Description
Appellant, Michael OLaughlin, owner of two parcels of land, sought to enjoin the City of Chicago and its building commissioner from revoking and withholding two building permits that had been issued to him. The permits allowed the construction of two two-family dwelling apartment complexes on the appellants parcels of land. The circuit court of Cook County, in an order dated July 5, 1973, instructed the City to restore the permits and issue whatever documents were necessary for appellant to commence construction immediately. Both the circuit court and the appellate court denied the Citys motion to stay the order. However, on appeal, the appellate court found that the proposed structures violated the provisions of the Chicago Zoning Ordinance (Municipal Code of Chicago, 1973, ch. 194A) and that the City was not estopped from revoking the permits. The appellate court remanded the cause, directing the circuit court to vacate its previous order and to enter an order in favor of the City pursuant to section 11-13-15 of the Illinois Municipal Code (Ill. Rev. Stat. 1973, ch. 24, par. 11-13-15). (OLaughlin v. City of Chicago, 28 Ill. App.3d 766.) We granted OLaughlin leave to appeal.
