In Friedman v. City of Fairfax (1978) 81 Cal.App.3d 667, the court found that the city's purpose in passing the downzoning ordinance was to acquire plaintiff's property, and there were public meetings and discussions in which the planning commission and the city council discussed acquiring Friedman's land. The court held that mere planning, public discussion and debate do not amount to inequitable precondemnation activity. The appellate court noted there could be no inequitable precondemnation activity where there is only public discussion and debate and no official action to acquire the property. (P. 678.)
