Somerville, Mass., can take home a win after its three-year legal battle with the owner of a former Star Market property in the Davis Square neighborhood over development of the site. After the market was closed in 2007, the owner sued the city after it rejected the owner’s new plans for the lot. The city determined that the owner wouldn’t be able to open a discount store there. The city reasoned that such a store was not consistent with newly established "commercial corridor district" zoning for the area.
