American Indian Sacred Religious Sites And Government Development: A Conventional Analysis In An Unconventional Setting, Mark S. Cohen Feb 1987

American Indian Sacred Religious Sites And Government Development: A Conventional Analysis In An Unconventional Setting, Mark S. Cohen

Michigan Law Review

For centuries, American Indians have regarded specific lands as essential to their livelihood, government, culture, and religion. Congress and the courts have at times recognized the important relationship between tribes and their lands. Recognition has not always coincided with protection; during the nineteenth century and part of the twentieth century a series of governmental actions resulted in the tribes surrendering title and possession to many of their ancestral lands. Recently, however, American Indians have become increasingly active litigants in a variety of contexts. In one set of cases, Indians challenged government development projects on public lands, contending that because the …


Maryland's Growing Pains: The Need For State Regulation, Philip J. Tierney Jan 1987

Maryland's Growing Pains: The Need For State Regulation, Philip J. Tierney

University of Baltimore Law Review

Over the past two decades, much of Maryland's landscape has been rapidly developed into residential uses. This rapid growth has been largely unanticipated and unplanned. This article reviews the current local regulatory process of land use and growth control and reveals the need for changes in the regulatory process with a case study of Montgomery County, Maryland. The author concludes that greater state involvement in the land use regulatory process is necessary in order to manage growth effectively.


The Public Trust Doctrine In Washington, A. Reid Allison Iii Jan 1987

The Public Trust Doctrine In Washington, A. Reid Allison Iii

Seattle University Law Review

This Article addresses questions of resource allocation and property rights, first, by presenting a brief description of the historical and legal foundation of coastal resource allocation in the United States: the “public trust doctrine.” Second, a survey of the Washington experience demonstrates, surprisingly, that a state whose 2,337 miles of marine coastline approximately equals the length of the entire remaining coastline of the contiguous western United States, has managed to establish a viable and responsive regulatory regime governing coastal resource use with scarcely a mention in its laws of the “public trust doctrine.”


The Selling Out Of Mount Laurel: Regional Contribution Agreements In New Jersey's Fair Housing Act, Rachel Fox Jan 1987

The Selling Out Of Mount Laurel: Regional Contribution Agreements In New Jersey's Fair Housing Act, Rachel Fox

Fordham Urban Law Journal

This Article outlines the origins of exclusionary zoning, the doctrine announced in Southern Burlington County NAACP v. Township of Mount Laurel and the emergence of Regional Contribution Agreements (RCAs) under New Jersey's Fair Housing Act. The author argues that, as implemented, RCAs thwart the Mount Laurel doctrine's explicit goal of revitalizing urban areas and its implicit goal of racial integration of suburban municipalities. The article concludes that, because the RCAs thwart some of the basic goals of the Mount Laurel doctrine, the New Jersey Fair Housing Act can no longer be described as a codification of that doctrine and substantial …


The Political Economy Of Co-Financing America's Urban Renaissance, Robin P. Malloy Jan 1987

The Political Economy Of Co-Financing America's Urban Renaissance, Robin P. Malloy

Vanderbilt Law Review

America's urban centers are experiencing a renaissance of sorts that reflects the vitality of a renewed interest in the city.Dynamic growth and revitalization of the central city have emerged since the 1970s as key focal points for investment and development, replacing years of investing primarily in suburbanization. The emerging activity in America's urban down towns has been more than an isolated or segmented investment in office buildings. With strong political support and the emergence of an affluent group of new urbanites, some central cities are said to be transforming into entirely new urban environments where people not only work, but …
