Docket entry

030180 River Heights v. Batten 01/16/2004 (Revised 07/01/2004) The trial court correctly held that owners of lots in a subdivision sufficiently showed a justiciable controversy under Virginia's declaratory judgment statutes, and correctly determined that a restrictive covenant prohibiting commercial use of certain lots within the subdivision was not rendered unenforceable, either as the result of a plat note restricting access to the lots if they were to be put to residential uses, or as the result of changed conditions. The judgment of the trial court is affirmed.
