Text: We conclude that the district court erred in denying appellant's petition for a writ of mandamus for three reasons. First, respondents did not provide substantial evidence to the Board that a hardship or difficulty existed which justified the granting of a variance to allow the concrete/asphalt batch plant. Second, the Clark County Code does not permit accessory uses, buildings, and structures incidental to a conditional use in areas zoned R-U. Third, the Board of County Commissioners erred by not providing deference to the master plan. Therefore, the order of the district court denying appellant's petition for a writ of mandamus is reversed, and this matter is remanded to the district court with instructions to reverse the Board's decision to grant the variance. We also conclude that appellant is not entitled to attorney's fees. STEFFEN, C.J., and YOUNG, J., concur. SHEARING and SPRINGER, JJ., dissent.
