Omnilex summary

The decision states, in light of the Federal Supreme Court's coordination ruling, that the examination of approval or non-approval of a zoning-plan determination under § 329(4) PBG belongs exclusively to the Administrative Court. Baurekurskommission IV therefore lacks authority to review approval decisions issued by the Baudirektion.

Omnilex headnote

§ 329 Abs. 4 PBG; jurisdiction to review approval of zoning-plan determinations; the competence to obtain and assess the approval or refusal decision lies exclusively with the Administrative Court. Baurekurskommissionen are not entitled to examine the Baudirektion’s approval decisions. The allocation of jurisdiction is determined by the statutory wording and excludes parallel review by other cantonal appeal bodies (consid. coordination decision of the Federal Supreme Court).

November 2000 über die Verfahrenskoordination wurde klargestellt, dass die Zuständigkeit zur Einholung und Beurteilung des Entscheides über die Genehmigung oder Nichtgenehmigung einer nut- z ungsplanerischen Festlegung entsprechend dem Wortlaut von § 329 Abs. 4 PBG aus- schliesslich beimVerwaltungsgericht liegt (vgl. dazu auch BRKE I Nr. 107/1999 in BEZ 1999 Nr. 21). Die Baurekurskommissionen sind somit entgegen der vom Verwaltungsge- richt vertretenen Auffassung (BEZ 1998 Nr. 9, BEZ 1999 Nrn. 3 und 22 sowie BEZ 2000 Nr. 16) zur Überprüfung der Genehmigungsentscheide der Baudirektion nicht befugt.

The result follows from the wording of § 329(4) PBG and the Federal Supreme Court's coordination decision, which allocated the review of such planning approvals solely to the Administrative Court.
