Justice HECHT delivered the opinion of the Court.

After a twelve-month moratorium on development, the City of Glenn Heights rezoned undeveloped property owned by Sheffield Development Co., reducing the number of residences that could be built on the property. Sheffield contends that the moratorium and the "downzoning" each constituted a taking of its property without adequate compensation in violation of article I, section 17 of the Texas Constitution.
