This guide from the Section of State and Local Government Law addresses the important trends shaping land use law today. The book informs you about the most significant updates in the field and examines how property is defined, protected, and
utilized.
Combining an array of recent land use articles from The Urban Lawyer with new essays commissioned especially for this book, Hot Topics In Land Use Law covers a broad range of issues that are changing the way land use law and zoning are practiced and interpreted in the courts. Its subjects range from specific legal issues, such as siting issues under the Federal Telecommunications Act and the cases that are drawing distinctions from Dolan's legal applicability, to case studies of recent revitalization efforts and a thoughtful examination of professional and governmental ethics in land use law. This guide gives you an effective overview of the cases, statutes, and issues that will shape land use law into the next century.
Exactions and takings issues continue to be among the most controversial areas of land use law, while initiatives towards "Smart Growth," telecommunications siting, new urbanism, and conservation easements to preserve open space are emerging as other critical areas of the field. Hot Topics in Land Use Law includes pertinent examinations of the status and outlook in these areas. A highlight of the book is a discussion of the most recent takings case, City of Monterey v. Del Monte Dunes, between the counsel for the winning landowner and the counsel for the American Planning Association's amicus brief holding the day on expanding takings law.
Each article in this book was written by leading authorities that practice and teach in the field. Among other topics, the guide explores: - How the Federal Telecommunications Act of 1996 preempted state and local zoning and why recent inconsistent court decisions may alter the balance between local zoning concerns and industry
- An examination of the current status of historic preservation and architectural control law, including a wealth of practical information on tax and bonus incentives
- The status and outlook for the new, statewide "Smart Growth" initiatives
- Conflicting issues between zoning and the First Amendment
- A summary of applicable ethics rules for land use lawyers with a plan for developing and implementing an effective ethics check
- The current state of exactions case law, plus a look at the potential impact of federal constitutional developments on the drafting of local ordinances
- Relevant case histories of recent urban revitalization efforts utilizing new urbanism and neo-traditional development, and what makes these rejuvenated areas different from previous and less successful attempts
- A concise guide to the cases and the protocols for coordinating the participation of government and local users in planning and managing public lands
