MEYER, Justice.
This is a dispute over the Durham City Council’s rezoning of a 2.6-acre, vacant, undeveloped tract (“the property”) near the southeastern quadrant of the intersection of Interstate 85 (“1-85”) and Hillandale Road in Durham. The evidence at trial tended to show that until 1979 all the land south of 1-85 in this area was zoned R-10 (residential, minimum 10,000 square foot lot).
