Land Use Cases Highlight Lessons, Evolving Patterns: The Year In Review, John R. Nolon, Jessica A. Bacher
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
New York courts busily decided a multitude of land use cases in 2008 due to the increased growth in magnitude and complexity of land use issues. This year, as in the past, the authors summarize some of the most important cases. This year’s cases include the following topics: judicial deference to land use board decisions, zoning boards of appeals discretion, standard local practice, the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act, statute of limitations, affordable housing, and eminent domain.

The Durability Of Conservation Easements In Georgia, Meghan Ryan, Michelle Godfrey
The Durability Of Conservation Easements In Georgia, Meghan Ryan, Michelle Godfrey
Land Use Clinic
Conservation easements, generally defined as “nonpossessory interest[s] in land that impose use restrictions on...landowner[s] in order to achieve a conservation purpose,” have proliferated over the last few decades as tools to accomplish the goals of land preservation encouraged in part by the passage, in most states, of conservation easement enabling legislation. Recent litigation before the Supreme Court of Wyoming demonstrates some of the ambiguities and concerns surrounding the durability of conservation easements. This memorandum addresses these concerns about conservation easements in the context of Georgia’s laws.

The Quiet Revolution Revived: Sustainable Design, Land Use Regulation, And The States, Sara C. Bronin
The Quiet Revolution Revived: Sustainable Design, Land Use Regulation, And The States, Sara C. Bronin
Cornell Law Faculty Publications
Thirty-seven years ago, a book called The Quiet Revolution in Land Use Control argued that states would soon take over localities' long-held power over land use regulation. In the authors' view, this quiet revolution would occur when policymakers and the public recognized that certain problems - like environmental destruction - were too big for localities to handle on their own. Although the quiet revolution has not yet occurred, this Article suggests that it will, and should, occur alongside the ever-growing green building movement. This movement presents practical and ideological challenges to our current system of regulating land use. This Article …

Bill Would Encourage Effective Dispute Resolution, John R. Nolon, Jessica A. Bacher
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
Many of the processes involved in traditional local land use review procedures involve two or more adversarial parties arguing their position with little to no consideration for the other party’s interest, and no regard for mutually beneficial outcome. This article describes a proposed New York law that would promote the use of mediation to supplement the traditional process. The article discusses studies geared towards testing the effectiveness of mediation, gives a review of out of state mediation legislation, as discusses corresponding court decisions. Finally, the article concludes with a review of the traditional roles of lawyers in the process, and …

Solar Energy: New York City Sets Pace In Adopting Sound Policies, John R. Nolon, Jessica A. Bacher
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
Through state legislation and local land use powers, municipalities in New York have authority to facilitate solar energy usage and reduce carbon emissions. This article analyzes several specific New York and municipal legislative provisions enabling New York’s municipalities to encourage or discourage solar energy. Interestingly, many of the tools discussed in this article are variations of pre-existing traditional land use tools such as, variances, subdivision design requirements, or fee exemptions.

Shifting Ground To Address Climate Change: The Land Use Law Solution, John R. Nolon
Shifting Ground To Address Climate Change: The Land Use Law Solution, John R. Nolon
Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications
This article conceives and describes a Land Use Stabilization Wedge: a strategy that aggregates these five wedges and further organizes strategic energies. This builds on Socolow’s optimistic assertion that “an excuse for inaction based on the world’s lack of technological readiness does not exist.” I assert that the existing legal authority of state and local governments to regulate and guide land use and building is a powerful “technology already deployed somewhere in the world.” The Land Use Stabilization Wedge aggregates several of Socolow’s initiatives and employs multiple mitigation techniques available to citizens in every locality in the country.
