Exclusionary Zoning Practices: An Examination Of The Current Controversy, W. Harold Bigham, C. Dent Bostick Nov 1972

Exclusionary Zoning Practices: An Examination Of The Current Controversy, W. Harold Bigham, C. Dent Bostick

Vanderbilt Law Review

For the last 45 years the idea that local zoning administration is a highly desirable exercise of the state police power has become progressively more entrenched in urban thinking and planning. Although opponents of zoning have quarreled with details of administration or decried the failure of the Supreme Court to continuously oversee implementation of the zoning concept, they have assumed basic Euclidian zoning theory' to be beyond serious challenge. This assumption is no longer valid, for classic municipal zoning is on the firing line and its survival is by no means certain.

Land-Use Planning And Regulation On The California Coast: The State Role, Institute Of Governmental Affairs May 1972

Land-Use Planning And Regulation On The California Coast: The State Role, Institute Of Governmental Affairs

California Agencies

California's thousand-mile coastline is one of her most precious and intensively used resources; about three-fourths of the state's population, about 15 million people in 1970, live within an hour's drive of the Pacific shoreline. Because of these facts Californians have become increasingly interested of late in formulating a statewide policy on the development and conservation of their coastal resources. This paper will provide a history of state policy in this field and a discussion of the various efforts to give the state government a greater role in the regulation of coastal land use. It will focus in addition on the …


Special Project - Nashville Model Cities: A Case Study, Richard W. Creswell, Alan Gates, Paul M. Kurtz, Paul R. Regendorf, Samuel W. Bartholomew, Jr., Richard K. Greenstein May 1972

Special Project - Nashville Model Cities: A Case Study, Richard W. Creswell, Alan Gates, Paul M. Kurtz, Paul R. Regendorf, Samuel W. Bartholomew, Jr., Richard K. Greenstein

Vanderbilt Law Review

The future of the Model Cities program in Nashville is difficult to predict. As of this writing, the program is approaching the end of the first of five action years. The suit filed by the CCC in April 1971, is,more than a year later, still pending. It is, of course, possible that the program may eventually prove successful, but such a result is unlikely. Even if the CCC is replaced as the official citizen participation structure for the program, the ideological constituency from which the group derives its strength will remain. Furthermore, as the CDA continues to build an ad …

The Asphalting Of America: How The Government Subsidizes Highway Pollution In The Boswash Smog Bank, James Sullivan, Kenneth Lasson

All Faculty Scholarship

This article discusses the problem of air and noise pollution caused by motor vehicles circa the time of the article's writing (1972), and the public interest in dealing with these problems, in the light of federal government's conflicting interest in creating more roads. Mentioned is the fact that construction of more highways seems to be the federal government's answer to traffic congestion, while another point of view is that more highways encourages a rise in the number of motor vehicles on those roads. The article ends with some suggestions for how to deal with these problems.

The Interrelationship Between Exclusionary Zoning And Exclusionary Subdivision Control, Robert E. Hirshon

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

This article will examine both exclusionary zoning and subdivision control with a view toward analyzing the assumptions common to both types of laws. The operative differences between exclusionary zoning and subdivision control may be non-existent. If this is truly the case, the judicial response to each practice should be the same.

Billboard Regulations, And Aesthetics, Richard Sutton Jan 1972

Billboard Regulations, And Aesthetics, Richard Sutton

Cleveland State Law Review

The regulation of outdoor advertising has prompted a surprisingly prodigious amount of controversy and litigation. It has been challenged as a denial of free speech, due process, and equal protection; it has been upheld on nuisance4 and real property grounds, and sustained on the basis of public health, safety, morality, comfort and convenience, aesthetics, and the right to be let alone."


Residential Densities: A Patchwork Placebo, Stephen Sussna Jan 1972

Residential Densities: A Patchwork Placebo, Stephen Sussna

Fordham Urban Law Journal

This article examines the importance of residential density planning in today's society and the misapplications of this concept which have led to serious inequities in the population distribution of major American urban areas. The article will also discuss one of the great obstacles to the achievement of a rational population distribution, namely, exclusionary zoning ordinances. Finally, it will evaluate the future of density planning, specifically examining "ideal densities" and "efficient design for new communities" as well as the judicial implications of the problem. Several recommendations will also be made which, if implemented, would alleviate some of the difficulties that permeate …
