Suitum v. Tahoe Regional Planning Agencygreen

2 sentences

1998Under pertinent authority, we are not required to engage in “the virtual impossibility of determining what development will be permitted on a particular lot of land when its use is subject to the decision of *332 a regulatory body invested with great discretion, which it has not yet even been asked to exercise.” (Suitum v. Tahoe Regional Planning Agency, supra, 520 U.S. at p. 739 [ 117 S.Ct. at p. 1667 ].) Thus, Toigo’s claim for a taking in violation of the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution is not ripe and was properly dismissed on the Town’s motion for summary adjudication.
