Lawyers, Judges, And The Public Interest, John M. Payne May 1998

Lawyers, Judges, And The Public Interest, John M. Payne

Michigan Law Review

Chares Haar, the Louis D. Brandeis Professor of Law Emeritus at the Harvard Law School and a certified elder statesman of the housing and land-use community, was one of those scholar-politicians of the 1960s who spun out innovative theories in law reviews and then moved into government to see them applied. His generation inspired mine to pursue law as a means to serve the public interest. But the days of the Kennedy brothers' Camelot are long past. Today, big government and "big courts" alike are seen as parts of the problem. In the more austere political climate of the 1990s, …


Affordable Housing: State Lacks Definition Of Need And Municipal Responsibility, John R. Nolon Apr 1998

Affordable Housing: State Lacks Definition Of Need And Municipal Responsibility, John R. Nolon

Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications

New York case law has created an obligation for communities to provide low-income housing in order to meet regional needs. The courts have found exclusionary zoning to be an unconstitutional practice, and may require communities to amend zoning ordinances that act in an exclusionary manner. The burden for plaintiffs to prove an ordinance is unconstitutionally exclusionary has been greatly impacted by the existence of regional housing studies. However, legislative progress in New York continues to lag behind surrounding states, as New Jersey and Connecticut legislatures have put statutory components in place to ease burden of proof in challenges to exclusionary …

Flexibility In The Law: Reengineering Of Zoning To Prevent Fragmented Landscapes, John R. Nolon Feb 1998

Flexibility In The Law: Reengineering Of Zoning To Prevent Fragmented Landscapes, John R. Nolon

Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications

The continued existence vernal pools and other sensitive environmental areas greatly depends upon local and state land use decisions. Practices such as Euclidian Zoning, where land uses are separated into different districts, usually fail to account for the protection of these sensitive areas. However, local governments in New York, using implied municipal power created by state legislation, have a variety of land use tools to help alleviate the destruction of environmentally sensitive areas. These tools include: overlay zoning, incentive zoning, conservation easements, floating zones, and transferring development rights. By using these tools within a well-integrated strategy, New York communities can …

A Remedy On Paper: The Role Of Law In The Failure Of City Planning In New Haven, 1907-1913, Mark Fenster

UF Law Faculty Publications

Part I of this paper provides an overview of the dominant conservative legal doctrines and governing practices that limited planners' goals and strategies in New Haven during the period from 1907 through 1913, and that planning advocates sought to change. Part II provides a narrative of the New Haven planning movement prior to the publication of a 1910 report by Cass Gilbert, a well-known New York-based architect, and Frederick Law Olmsted, Jr., a nationally recognized city planner, on how best to improve New Haven's physical environment and infrastructure. To illustrate the difficulties facing the nascent planning movement in New Haven, …

Dangerous Crossing: State Brownfields Recycling And Federal Enterprise Zoning, Michael Allan Wolf Jan 1998

Dangerous Crossing: State Brownfields Recycling And Federal Enterprise Zoning, Michael Allan Wolf

Law Faculty Publications

Urban policymakers over the past two decades have engineered a curious and potentially dangerous intersection of late 20th Century policies designed to foster the rebirth of America's distressed urban regions. First, we find widespread enthusiasm about the potential for reusing brownfields 1 (typically contaminated urban sites), which has stimulated an impressive range of initiatives at all levels of government. 2 Second, after more than a decade of sitting on the sidelines and watching the states battle over the ideal range of incentives that will most effectively drive inner-city redevelopment, the federal government finally entered the fray in the 1990s with …

Taming The Suburban Amoeba In The Ecosystem Age: Some Do's And Don'ts, J.B. Ruhl Jan 1998

Taming The Suburban Amoeba In The Ecosystem Age: Some Do's And Don'ts, J.B. Ruhl

Vanderbilt Law School Faculty Publications

Urban central cities present a host of environmental problems including, but not limited to, industrial pollution, brownfields, smog, and environmental injustice. Rural and agricultural areas also experience environmental degradations such as pesticide runoff, wetlands conversion, and overgrazing. Between these different bands of lifestyle and land use lie the suburbs, which present their own set of environmental policy issues. This Article focuses on one of those problems: the growth of suburban land area and what it means for emerging notions of ecosystem management and sustainable development at the local land use scale. Part I of the Article provides the demographic and …


Enforcement Of Restrictions By Homeowners Associations: Balancing Individual Rights And Community Interests, Gerald Korngold Jan 1998

Enforcement Of Restrictions By Homeowners Associations: Balancing Individual Rights And Community Interests, Gerald Korngold

Articles & Chapters

Residential developments often create a general scheme of restrictions, operate common facilities, and establish an owners association to enforce the restrictions and operate the common areas. Private governments raise difficult public policy and legal issues. Private regimes should generally be enforced as they encourage the efficient use of land, allow choice in living arrangements, and foster participatory democracy. At the same time, though, the restrictions can offend personal autonomy, create inefficiencies, and permit undue control by past generations over present owners. The law should therefore enforce homeowners association covenants that prevent harmful fallout on the neighborhood, but they should not …


Castles In The Sand: Balancing Public Custom And Private Ownership Interests On Oregon’S Beaches, Steven W. Bender Jan 1998

Castles In The Sand: Balancing Public Custom And Private Ownership Interests On Oregon’S Beaches, Steven W. Bender

Faculty Articles

Although much has been written about Oregon's unique legacy of public privilege to use private beaches, scholarship has tended to focus on articulation as well as spirited critique of the custom doctrine. More recently, commentators have addressed the question of whether the public's beach rights can withstand scrutiny under the constitutional takings doctrine. In contrast, this article assumes that the custom doctrine is sufficiently embedded in Oregon's history and case law as precedent to withstand reconsideration of the doctrine and to constitute a background principle of state law for purposes of the takings doctrine. With these assumptions, the article examines …
