The opinion
Justice SAYLOR,
concurring.
I agree with the majority that HSP Gaming L.P. v. City Council, 595 Pa. 508 , 939 A.2d 273 (2007), is controlling and, for that reason, Petitioners should receive treatment similar to that afforded to HSP. Absent such controlling precedent, I would favor the appointment of a special master to preside over the development of an evidentiary record and to offer recommended findings and conclusions, as I believe that such a record is conventionally necessary to address core, disputed factual matters, such as those regarding City Council’s inten *442 tions and conduct. Accord HSP, 595 Pa. at 534 , 939 A.2d at 288 (Saylor, J., dissenting).
