Questão jurídica principal
Whether the reclassification to a conservation zone constituted material expropriation for A.'s parcels due to special reliance interests from the completed quarter-plan procedure.
Decisão extraída
Yes. For A.'s parcels, the prior quarter-plan history created a legitimate expectation of buildability at the critical date, so the zoning change amounted to material expropriation.
Fundamentação extraída
Although the parcels were neither in a densely built area nor fully serviced, the decisive factor was the special planning history: the quarter plan had been finalized and made effective, the owner had been included in the inner cost perimeter, and the city then shifted to a conservation zone immediately afterward. In the overall assessment, this displaced the normal rule that non-zoning is not compensable.
