Question juridique clé
Whether the organizations had standing to challenge the zoning-plan modification.
Solution extraite
Yes. They made a plausible showing that the plan could circumvent federal law on environmental assessment and protected biotopes, so standing could not be denied at the admissibility stage.
Motifs extraits
Where a planning measure may effectively legalize works subject to federal law, environmental organizations entitled to appeal may invoke that the planning route unlawfully bypasses the material federal requirements.
