Local Land Use Control In New York: An Aging Citadel Under Siege, John R. Nolon
Local Land Use Control In New York: An Aging Citadel Under Siege, John R. Nolon
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
In New York, local officials determine the shape and pace of land development, decide the economic fate of land owners and are the stewards of our natural resources. The system of local control of land use has remained relatively static since it was first created by the state legislature over seven decades ago. Today, however, it is under siege. Its strength is being sapped by preemptive state and federal regulations; it is being attacked by environmentalists and developers alike. The state's highest court has called for fundamental reform.
An Outsider Looks At Illinois Zoning And Planning, Edward H. Ziegler Jr.
An Outsider Looks At Illinois Zoning And Planning, Edward H. Ziegler Jr.
Northern Illinois University Law Review
This article is an edited version of Professor Ziegler's presentation which provides an outsider's perspective on the current issues facing Illinois land use law. From this perspective, Professor Ziegler examines the adequacy of Illinois regulatory authority, addresses the role of judicial review in the context of zoning decisions, and analyzes the need for planning. Professor Ziegler concludes that better utilization of regulatory authority and an emphasis on planning would provide a better framework for local communities to have zoning classifications sustained on review.
Illinois Annexation Agreements--Are We Behind The Times?, Barbara Baran
Illinois Annexation Agreements--Are We Behind The Times?, Barbara Baran
Northern Illinois University Law Review
Ms. Baran begins her article by discussing the impetus for the Illinois Annexation Agreement Statute. Next, she provides the reader with a thorough analysis of each provision of the statute with particular emphasis on the enforceability of agreements. Ms. Baran notes that uncertainties associated with development make the statute appealing to developers and municipal officials. She believes that the statute provides a sufficient basis for agreements and that it may not be necessary for Illinois to move toward a more specific developer agreement statute. She does, however, promote the position that the statute should be brought up to date and …

An Alternative For Illinois Land Use Legislation, Clyde W. Forrest
An Alternative For Illinois Land Use Legislation, Clyde W. Forrest
Northern Illinois University Law Review
This article addresses the need for an interrelated planning component in Illinois land use law. Professor Forrest concludes that the existing legislative model is obsolete and fails to address common problems confronting decision makers. In order to remedy the legislative scheme, Professor Forrest proposes an Integrated Planning Model Act which will facilitate efficiency and consistency in managing land use at every level of government.

Conservation And Natural Resources Department Of Natural Resources: Establish Minimum Standards And Procedures For Protection Of Mountains And River Corridors, Andrew W. Roberts
Georgia State University Law Review
The Act provides for protection of certain mountain slopes and river corridors by limiting development and placing restrictions on the land owners. The mountain protection portion of the bill protects all mountain slopes at an elevation of over 2,200 feet with a grade of more than twenty-five percent. The river corridor protection portion of the bill restricts development within 100 feet of rivers having a flow rate of over 400 cubic feet per second, limiting permissible structures to single family residences and necessary infrastructure. A natural vegetative cover must be maintained in the buffer area. Both sections provide exemptions for …

New York City Zoning -- 1961-1991: Turning Back The Clock -- But With An Up-To-The-Minute Social Agenda, Norman Marcus, Esq.
Fordham Urban Law Journal
Since the last update over 30 years ago, there is a need to once again change our zoning laws. Over the years, societal concerns and priorities have fluctuated with the times and, as a result, exceptions have been made to the zoning regulations which reflect these changing social interests. The result is a Zoning Resolution which stands at 806 pages (and still counting). It is an ad-hoc, convoluted, chaotic non-plan for the City, held together by binders rather than a common vision. This essay examines the zoning history of New York City and concludes that a new Comprehensive Reassessment, which …
