Key legal question
Whether the appellant had standing to object to the zoning plan because the traffic increase would cause noticeably greater emissions at his property.
Extracted holding
No. The forecasted traffic increase was not clearly enough shown to create distinctly perceptible additional noise or air pollution at the appellant's property, so he lacked standing.
Extracted reasoning
The court accepted the cantonal findings that the increase would be under 10%, a level insufficient on the evidence to establish a special, close, and appreciable interest under planning-law standing rules.
