2003In Lucas, Justice Antonin Scalia referred in a single paragraph to a regulatory takings claim as “where regulation denies all economically beneficial or productive use of land” and later, citing Agins v. City of Tiburon, supra, 447 U.S. at page 261 , as when an enactment “ ‘denies an owner economically viable use of his land.’ ” (Lucas v. South *1438 Carolina Coastal Council, supra, 505 U.S. at pp. 1015-1016. 4 ) Quite obviously, in Agins , Justice Powell did not state that the loss of “all” “economically viable use of [the] land” was a prerequisite to a regulatory takings claim.

2013(Penn Central, supra, 438 U.S. at p. 124 ; Lingle, supra, 544 U.S. at p. 538 .) Courts conducting such an inquiry have identified three primary factors: (1) the “economic impact” of the regulation on the claimant, (2) the extent to which the regulation interfered with “distinct, investment-backed expectations,” and (3) the “character of the government action.” (Shaw, supra, 170 Cal.App.4th at p. 272 ; see Penn Central, supra, 438 U.S. at p. 124 .)
