Opinion

Black, J.

January 17, 1944, defendant village of Trenton adopted ordinance No 117 providing for a comprehensive zoning plan of areas located within its corporate limits. The ordinance divided the village into 7 classes of use districts. Residential A, B and C and Business 2, designated by the ordinance as R-A, R-B, IN-C and B-2, are the classifications that are presently important. R-A permits single-family dwellings, R-B single- and 2-family dwellings, R-C single- and 2-family dwellings ánd multiple dwellings for 3 or more families, and B-2 permits business establishments.

August 18, 1952 the defendant village adopted ordinance No 157, amending the ordinance of January 17, 1944. The 1952 ordinance upgraded, from INC to 1NB, an area composed of nearly 3 city blocks.

This 3-block area comprises the area, bounded north by Truax street, east by Detroit river, south by Atwood avenue, and west by an alley bisecting the 2-block area which lies north of Atwood and south of Truax between Jefferson avenue and Riverside drive. The mentioned 3-block area is illustratively designated on the presently incorporated map which, with legends as indicated, is the focal part of plaintiff’s exhibit 7. Said exhibit 7 is known in the record as the “latest zoning map” of the village.

Plaintiff is owner of 3 lots located within the mentioned 3-block area. They are situated between Riverside drive on the west and the Detroit river on the east, and have frontages of 66 feet and varying depths of from 300 feet to in excess of 500 feet.
