Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the rezoning of parcel 474 to the special zone 'Rain' amounted to material expropriation requiring compensation.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. The parcel had already been outside the building zone since 1977, did not lie in the extensively built-up area, and no exceptional reliance interests justified compensation; the new special zone even expanded permitted uses compared with the former agricultural zone.
Extrahierte Begründung
The decisive date was the entry into force of the 1997 zoning revision. The land was not legally buildable at that time, and the owner could not rely on municipal approval votes alone because cantonal approval was required. The special zone did not worsen but rather broadened use possibilities.
