Our firm represented the owners of land in a petition that was filed against the allocation of their rights in a plan to change the zoning from agricultural to residential, in the framework of the plan of the National Planning and Building Committee of Preferred Sites for Housing for the expansion of the city of Rehovot, which includes a total of over 7,000 housing units.
The Petitioner claimed that the interpretation of the coownership agreement, which had been signed between the Petitioner and our clients decades ago, requires that all of the rights in the improved land be allocated to him, among other reasons, because the change in zoning was only implemented in the part that had been allocated to him “in kind” in the framework of the coownership agreement.
The court accepted our arguments in connection with the coownership agreement and the interpretation thereof, and it ordered that rights in the housing units in the plan be allocated to our clients.
