Highlight

A nonprofit organization that has not suffered an injury itself can sue as the representative of its members if: (1) its members would otherwise have standing to sue in their own right; (2) the interests it seeks to protect are germane to the organization; and (3) neither the claim asserted nor the relief requested requires the participation of individual members in the lawsuit.
Although interpretation of an ordinance presents a question of law fully reviewable on appeal, the interpretation of a zoning ordinance by a governmental entity is a quasi-judicial act, and a reviewing court should give deference to the judgment and interpretation of the governing body rather than substitute its judgment for that of the enacting body.
