Questão jurídica principal
Whether the cantonal judgment violated municipal autonomy in rejecting the development plan
Decisão extraída
No. Municipal autonomy existed, but the cantonal authorities could deny approval because the plan conflicted with higher planning law and the zone character.
Fundamentação extraída
The municipality had planning discretion, yet § 19(2) PBG permits deviations from ordinary building rules only if they produce a better overall architectural and urban-planning result, serve the public interest, and do not adversely affect neighboring land beyond the zone rules. The proposed project exceeded those limits.
