CourtOhio Supreme Court

Lawrence J. Damore, Youngstown, for appellees.

Robert J. Kalafut, City Sol., for appellant.

PER CURIAM.

The refusal of the city council, the legislative body of appellant, to grant the requested zone change was a legislative action. The Administrative Appeals Act (Chapter 2506, Revised Code), providing for appeals from actions of administrative officers, tribunals and commissions, does not permit appeals from acts of legislative bodies.
