Questione giuridica chiave
Whether the municipal landscape protection zone over parcel no. 22 and about 90% of the agricultural zone was lawful and proportionate under planning law.
Decisione estratta
The zoning was lawful: it implemented binding cantonal planning goals, served a significant public interest in preserving the unbuilt Limpach plain, and did not exceed municipal planning discretion.
Motivazione estratta
Art. 17 RPG and the cantonal master plan required protection of valuable landscapes. The municipality could protect the landscape where it is located, even if this covered most of the agricultural area. A building ban on parcel no. 22 was necessary and suitable to preserve the open landscape.
