Overcoming Land Use Localism: How Hud's New Fair Housing Regulation Can Push States To Eradicate Exclusionary Zoning, Thomas Silverstein
Overcoming Land Use Localism: How Hud's New Fair Housing Regulation Can Push States To Eradicate Exclusionary Zoning, Thomas Silverstein
University of Baltimore Journal of Land and Development
Since 2009, the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD) and various housing and community development stakeholders have grappled with the question of what it means to affirmatively further fair housing (AFFH). In some respects, HUD’s publication of a final AFFH rule on July 16, 2015 was the culmination of that process, 2 but the rule did not resolve all outstanding questions. In particular, the one point that has been reiterated by a range of groups with often competing interests is that no one is entirely clear how the framework that HUD has developed will work for states.3 To …

The Selling Out Of Mount Laurel: Regional Contribution Agreements In New Jersey's Fair Housing Act, Rachel Fox
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 Inadequacy Of Judicial Remedies In Cases Of Exclusionary Zoning, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
This Note presents and evaluates the possible judicial responses to cases, like Mount Laurel, that involve challenges to entire zoning ordinances on exclusionary grounds. It argues that pragmatic and legal difficulties militate against any judicial imposition of affirmative relief not tailored to specific tracts of land and suggests that the most effective resolution of the problems confronted by low-income housing advocates lies in comprehensive legislative programs.
Forest City Enterprises, Inc. V. City Of Eastlake: Zoning Referenda And Exclusionary Zoning, Frank J. Kundrat Jr., Stephen Bond
Forest City Enterprises, Inc. V. City Of Eastlake: Zoning Referenda And Exclusionary Zoning, Frank J. Kundrat Jr., Stephen Bond
Cleveland State Law Review
In the recent Ohio Supreme Court decision of Forest City Enterprises, Inc. v. City of Eastlake, the court stated a new principle of law in the area of referendum zoning: A municipal charter provision, which requires that any ordinance changing land use be ratified by the voters in a city-wide election, constitutes an unlawful delegation of legislative power, in violation of the due process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. The court was, however, far from convincing either in terms of distinguishing the prior law of referendum zoning or in demonstrating the applicability of their conclusion …
Challenging Exclusionary Zoning: Contrasting Recent Federal And State Court Approaches, James C. Quinn
Challenging Exclusionary Zoning: Contrasting Recent Federal And State Court Approaches, James C. Quinn
Fordham Urban Law Journal
The zoning power, though based on the police power of the states, has traditionally been granted to local communities through various state enabling statutes. These enabling statutes permit local enactment of zoning ordinances only to the extent that they bear a substantial relation to the "health, safety, morals, or general welfare" of the community. With the migration of middle-class city dwellers to thc suburbs after World War II, zoning has become more than a means of maintaining the proper mix of land-use patterns in a community. Rather, in fear of overly rapid development and irreversible alteration of their community character, …
