Questions presented

Is a regulatory takings claim ripe for review when the local government has made clear how it would apply land use regulations to the property at issue, or must a property owner submit multiple applications even when those applications are not necessary to prove that the local government would reject all economically viable development applications?
Does government effect a taking when it intentionally devalues private property because it plans to later purchase the property at a discount?
