Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the municipal authority had to recuse itself because the city was the applicant and landowner.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No recusal was required where the municipality pursued public interests and no personal interest of individual officials was shown.
Extrahierte Begründung
The duty of recusal applies to natural persons with a personal interest, not to an authority as such; deciding its own public project is not decision-making in its own private cause.
