Description
The plaintiff-appellees, James and Betty Rittenhouse, purchased a 20-acre tract of agriculturally zoned land adjacent to Interstate Highway 164 (I-164) in Vanderburgh County. They subsequently petitioned the Evansville-Vanderburgh Area Plan Commission (the APC) and the Vanderburgh County Board of Commissioners (the Commissioners), requesting the property be rezoned for light industrial purposes. The Commissioners denied the petition, and the Rittenhouses brought suit in Vanderburgh Superior Court, alleging the denial was invalid and amounted to a taking of their property requiring just compensation under the Fifth Amendment to the United States Constitution and Article I, Sections 21 and 23 of the Indiana Constitution. The trial court entered summary judgment in favor of the APC and, after a trial, entered judgment for the Rittenhouses against the Commissioners.
