Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the upzoning and development plan complied with spatial planning principles and local planning discretion
Decisione estratta
The planning authorities did not exceed their discretion; densification and intensified use of the existing building zone were justified by the housing demand and the settlement context.
Motivazione estratta
The court stressed the national and cantonal goal of compact settlement development, the need to curb land consumption, the central location of the site, and the municipality's legitimate choice to use existing reserves rather than expand the building zone.
