 During times of peace, this is explicitly forbidden by the Third Amendment to the United States Constitution as well as the Fifth Amendment, and so seizing property for this purpose would be unconstitutional even if just compensation was paid.In contrast, a regulation restricting the use of property to further legitimate public ends, will not be considered a taking merely because it impairs the value or the utility of that land.However, when the regulation goes too far (as Justice Holmes put it in "Pennsylvania Coal Co. v. Mahon"), it will be judicially recognized as the equivalent of a taking which may not take place without payment of just compensation to the property's owner.
