Property rezoning can be challenged through three mechanisms: police power, unconstitutional taking, or vesting.
Police Power
Courts rarely invalidate zoning ordinances, deferring to legislative bodies.
Taking Clause
Zoning constitutes a compensable taking only when it eliminates all reasonable property uses.
Vesting
Zoning vests only after obtaining valid construction permits and undertaking substantial construction.
Conclusion
Successful rezoning challenges remain exceptionally rare.
