Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the cantonal court violated the municipality's autonomy by substituting its own assessment on the permitted building density in the neighborhood plan.
Decisione estratta
Yes. The municipal authorities retained autonomous decision-making power on the plan's density coefficient, and the cantonal court overstepped by imposing a reduction without sufficient legal basis.
Motivazione estratta
Cantonal law left no exhaustive rule on the coefficient of use and number of storeys for this planning matter. The plan was not contrary to the principles of territorial planning; the density chosen, though high, fit the surrounding zoning context and did not justify judicial substitution of municipal discretion.
