Question juridique clé
Whether the rezoning created a major economic betterment justifying a contribution under the cantonal compensation scheme
Solution extraite
No. Given the parcel's near-certain transition to building land and the price already paid shortly before entry into force, the owners did not obtain a relevant economic advantage at the decisive time.
Motifs extraits
The court held that 'major advantage' under federal planning law is an economic concept assessed on the parcel's objective market value in the concrete circumstances. Here, the land was already very close to constructible value because urbanization was imminent and effectively certain when the owners bought it.
