2020But to obtain a final decision subject to judicial review, they also needed to seek alternative relief, which in this case included taking the “reasonable and necessary steps” of submitting a site plan containing all pertinent information to enable a final administrative decision regarding their proposed plans for the property.3 Cf. Conlin, 262 Mich App at 383 (concluding that the plaintiffs failed to meet the finality requirement when they failed to submit “a formal site plan,” apply for conditional land use approval, or seek a “dimensional variance”).

1989In the instant case, the final-decision requirement is not implicated because Electro-Tech's due process claim ÔÇö that it was deprived of its right to improve its property by arbitrary and irrational government action ÔÇö does not in any way require Electro-Tech to prove that the admittedly illegitimate condition imposed by the city actually resulted in such a severe restriction on Electro-Tech's ability to use its property as to violate Electro-Tech's independent right not to have its property taken without just compensation.

2010As aptly stated in Justice BRICKLEY'S Electro-Tech dissent, "a principled decision to apply, or not to apply, the finality requirement requires us to look beyond the label attached to a constitutional land use claim to the policy underlying the requirement and to the nature of the governmental conduct under attack." Electro-Tech, 433 Mich. at 100 , 445 N.W.2d 61 .

2020As noted in Williamson,[1] factors affecting a property owner’s investment-backed expectations “simply cannot be evaluated until the administrative agency has arrived at a final, definitive position regarding how it will apply the regulations at issue to the particular land in question.” Investment-backed expectations are distinguishable from mere financial speculation. [Paragon, 452 Mich at 578-579 (citations omitted).] In other words, “[w]ithout a final decision from the zoning authority, a plaintiff cannot demonstrate that the zoning ordinance or decision specifically injured the plaintiff.
