Question juridique clé
Whether the 1994/1995 rezoning constituted a compensable material expropriation or a non-compensable non-zoning.
Solution extraite
The rezoning was a non-zoning under the RPG, not an ex-zoning; therefore it did not trigger compensation.
Motifs extraits
The court held that the first RPG-conform planning order was only achieved with the 1994/1995 revision. The earlier 1982/1986 plan did not fully satisfy federal planning principles, so the later designation of the parcels as non-building land was the initial lawful zoning decision.
