Opinion:
SMITH, D. R., Associate Judge.
This is an appeal from a final judgment entered in a mandamus proceeding which quashed the alternative writ and denied the entry of peremptory writ. The proceeding involved the issuance of a building permit in accordance with the then-existing zoning regulation but when a petition was pending for the re-zoning of the area in question. One week after the issuance of the building permit, the same was revoked and, three weeks later, re-zoning was perfected. The re-zoning prohibited construction within the area of the type building authorized by the permit. Before the rezoning was perfected, the petitioner filed this proceeding to compel respondents to set aside the former permit cancellation and to re-establish the permit as originally issued on the principal ground that petitioner had acquired a vested interest in the permit which could not be divested by later cancellation except upon the ground of mistake or fraud.
The facts in this proceeding are almost identical with those appearing in the cases of Miami Shores Village v. Wm. N. Brockway Post No. 124 of American Legion, 156 Fla. 673, 24 So.2d 33; Sharrow v. City of Dania, Fla., 83 So.2d 274; and City of Fort Lauderdale v. Lauderdale Industrial Sites, Inc., Fla.App., 97 So.2d 47. The record in this case shows no justification for the application of the doctrine of equitable estoppel. All other questions and principles of law raised by appellant are fully and completely discussed and answered in the above cited cases. The judgment of the lower court quashing the alternative writ of mandamus and denying the entry of the peremptory writ is, therefore, affirmed without further comment.
