Key legal question
Whether changed circumstances required adaptation of the zoning plan under Art. 21 para. 2 LAT
Extracted holding
No. The difficulties of realizing a hotel project were not new circumstances; the long-term hotel designation remained justified by the planning balance.
Extracted reasoning
The court held that the known low hotel occupancy and the limited suitability for hotel use had existed for years and had already influenced the original transaction and earlier planning decisions. A lawful plan is presumed valid, and the authorities retained a broad margin of appreciation.
