Key legal question
Whether the proposed dwelling in the agricultural zone was compatible with the zone or justified as a derogation under federal planning law.
Extracted holding
No. A dwelling for the exploiters was not objectively necessary for the orchard business, and the project could not be authorized under Art. 24 LAT either.
Extracted reasoning
Housing is conform to the agricultural zone only if indispensable to the agricultural undertaking; the family already lived nearby, and the asserted management advantages were convenience-based rather than objective necessities tied to the site.
