Description
The question presented is whether a city may, as part of a comprehensive program to preserve historic landmarks and historic districts, place restrictions on the development of individual historic landmarks -- in addition to those imposed by applicable zoning ordinances -- without effecting a "taking" requiring the payment of "just compensation." Specifically, we must decide whether the application of New York Citys Landmarks Preservation Law to the parcel of land occupied by Grand Central Terminal has "taken" its owners property in violation of the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments.
