SW Nashville EB Owner, LLC v. Metro. Gov't of Nashville & Davidson Cnty.

Summary

The court held that SW Nashville's takings and due-process claims were ripe because Metro's indefinite development hold was an actual, concrete property-use decision causing present financial injury, not merely an unresolved permit application. The hold also satisfied the land-use finality requirement because Metro had definitively barred development and acknowledged that no nonlitigation avenue could alter that decision. The court reversed the ripeness-based dismissal and remanded for consideration of statute-of-limitations and qualified-immunity arguments not addressed below.
