Description

Chesterfield Village, Inc., owner of a 46.3-acre tract in the city of Chesterfield, filed two actions arising from the citys refusal to rezone the property to allow a larger number of residences to be built on the property. Chesterfield Village won its first action, obtaining a circuit court judgment that declared the zoning "illegal ... null and void" and ordered the city to "place a reasonable zoning classification" on the tract. The city rezoned the property to conform to the judgment. Chesterfield Village then filed its second action seeking damages for the citys failure to rezone the property initially. Its claim for damages was that the initial refusal of rezoning constituted a temporary taking and inverse condemnation in violation of the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution, 42 U.S.C. section 1983, and article I, sections 26 and 28 of the Missouri Constitution.
