Questão jurídica principal
Whether the upzoning and development plan complied with spatial planning principles and local planning discretion
Decisão extraída
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.
Fundamentação extraída
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.
