Key legal question
Whether the recent rezoning of the parcel into a public facilities zone caused compensable material expropriation.
Extracted holding
No. The rezoning was a non-zoning in conformity with federal planning law; the land was neither development-ready nor broadly serviced, and no protected reliance or equality-based exception applied.
Extracted reasoning
The former 2nd-stage building zone was overdimensioned and did not satisfy Art. 15 RPG. The parcel had been unserved since 1992 and required significant additional infrastructure and further planning steps. Therefore the change to the public facilities zone merely fixed the land use under federal law and did not create compensation for a prior loss in value.
