Description

Margaret Landes sought to enjoin the City of Kansas City and its officers from enforcing the zoning ordinance limiting her property to occupancy by two families. She also sought, by way of mandamus, to compel the City to issue a certificate of occupancy to replace one alleged to have been lost or destroyed. The court entered summary judgment in favor of the City on both counts and Landes appeals. Decisive to this appeal is the fact that Landes' claims are barred by res judicata. Affirmed. In her petition, filed in November, 1979, Landes alleged that she owned the property at 1124 Ward Parkway and that the house located there was built in 1922 to accommodate seven apartment units. She alleged that she filed an affidavit of nonconforming use for three or more apartments with the City in 1955, and a certificate of occupancy was issued to an attorney representing her, but that such certificate had been lost or destroyed.
