" Here, <br />on the record before it, the court could not find, as a matter of law, that there were <br />no facilities that existed that were "devoted to purposes other than transportation or <br />transit purposes"; neither could the court find, as a matter of law, that every MTA <br />facility with an outdoor sign was devoted to a transportation or transit purpose. <br />Jurisdiction/Authority—Intervenor in <br />zoning appeal claims proposed <br />development would result in <br />environmental resource damage <br />Court enjoins development, and developer claims <br />state Environmental Protection Act does not give <br />court authority to enter an injunction in the <br />context of a zoning appeal. <br />Citation: Hunter Ridge, LLC v.
