NIX, Justice,
dissenting.
I dissent. I would affirm the order of the Commonwealth Court for the reasons set forth in its well analyzed opinion. See In Re: Appeal of M.A. Kravitz Co., Inc., 53 Pa. Commonwealth Ct. 622, 419 A.2d 227 (1980). The relaxed judicial review of suburban zoning decisions reflected in the plurality’s view permits virtually unlimited freedom to developing municipalities to erect exclusionary walls on their boundaries, according to local whim, and to use the zoning power for aims far beyond its legitimate purposes.
LARSEN, J., joins in this dissenting opinion.
