Addressing The Administration Of Planned Developments: The Case Of Arroyo Grande, California, Matthew J. Downing

Master's Theses

The City of Arroyo Grande, California has a problem administering the

regulations of five Planned Developments in the City. This problem arises

from these regulations being included in a 167-page appendix at the back of

the City’s Development Code. This appendix includes the original approvals

for the Developments. It also includes amendments to those approvals.

These amendments are only added to the appendix. Therefore, changes to

the regulations governing the Planned Developments are not tracked. It

takes City staff considerable amounts of time to research answers when

Science, Politics, And Administrative Legitimacy , Louis J. Virelli Iii

Missouri Law Review

Administrative agencies in the United States and other constitutional democracies around the world are continually faced with difficult questions about the legitimacy of their decisions.1 Each of these legitimacy questions in turn raises important second-order questions about how agencies should view their role within a constitutional democracy: How closely should agency decisions reflect popular political will?

UF Law Faculty Publications

Since the adoption of Uniform Commercial Code Article 9 in American jurisdictions in the 1960s, scholars have debated the desirability of the extraordinary priority given to secured creditors. Through a point-by-point comparison of English and American security interests, this article provides a new perspective on that long-running debate. The comparison reveals that security functions in strikingly similar manners in the two jurisdictions, while differing sharply in one crucial respect. In contrast to the absolute priority given secured creditors under American law, English law subordinates floating charges to administrative expenses, preferential creditors, and a prescribed share for unsecured creditors. Other, less …
