Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“In order to establish a taking, appellees must show that the county's actions have substantially deprived them of all beneficial uses of the property, as compared with merely impairing its use. [Citations omitted.] Assuming that appellees were entitled to a permit since existing zoning allowed it, and further assuming that the conflict between the ordinance and the comprehensive plan did not constitute a pending change as contemplated by Smith v. City of Clearwater, 383 So.2d 681 (Fla. 2d DCA 1980), cert. dismissed, 403 So.2d 407 (Fla. 1981), we do not think that the county's denial constituted a taking of appellees' land. First, appellees were not completely deprived of all beneficial uses of their property; they were only deprived of their particular requested use. Appellees did not seek to use their property for commercial uses which presumably would have been approved. Second, appellees were only deprived temporarily as the county stipulated that it would issue the permit even before a judicial determination was reached. [Emphasis supplied.]”
