The Court found that although plaintiff residents had the standing to challenge an ordinance granted by the City of Ridgeland about the construction of a thirteen-story office building near them, the City's decision to allow construction of the building was not arbitrary or capricious and was supported by substantial evidence.
A group of Ridgeland residents challenged the legality of an ordinance issued by the City of Ridgeland to allow developers to construct a thirteen-story office building near them. The residents' concerns about the construction of the commerical development included ingress and egress access issues, depreciation of home values, the height of the building, and after-dark light pollution. The City of Ridgeland argued that the plaintiffs did not have standing to challenge the ordinance.
