Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the cantonal decisions violated municipal autonomy in refusing the zoning change
Decisione estratta
No. The cantonal authorities stayed within their review powers and could find the rezoning incompatible with the cantonal structure plan and planning principles.
Motivazione estratta
The municipality had planning discretion, but the parcel was not within the largely built-up area, the land was unserviced, the housing zone was already ample, and the plan conflicted with the 1995 cantonal structure plan and land-saving planning principles.
