Integrating Sustainable Development Planning And Climate Change Management: A Challenge To Planners And Land Use Attorneys, John R. Nolon Mar 2011

Integrating Sustainable Development Planning And Climate Change Management: A Challenge To Planners And Land Use Attorneys, John R. Nolon

Elisabeth Haub School of Law Faculty Publications

This essay is based on our new book, Climate Change and Sustainable Development Law in a Nutshell (West 2011) which describes the close relationship between sustainable development and climate change management. It begins with a discussion of recent discussions and agreements at the international level and it provides a brief history of sustainable development and climate change policy. The article then explores national and local strategies to address sustainable development goals. Local planning and zoning, transit oriented development, energy efficiency and green infrastructure issues are also addressed.


Proposed Exactions, Timothy M. Mulvaney Mar 2011

Proposed Exactions, Timothy M. Mulvaney

Faculty Scholarship

In the abstract, the site-specific ability to issue conditional approvals offers local governments the flexible option of permitting a development proposal while simultaneously requiring the applicant to offset the project’s external impacts. However, the U.S. Supreme Court curtailed the exercise of this option in Nollan and Dolan by establishing a constitutional takings framework unique to exaction disputes. This exaction takings construct has challenged legal scholars on several fronts for the better part of the past two decades. For one, Nollan and Dolan place a far greater burden on the government in justifying exactions it attaches to a development approval than …

Cityland – Vol. 8, No. 1, Center For New York City Law

CityLand - 2011

This issue of CityLand covers key land use and zoning developments in New York City as of February 15, 2011.

The Council approved multiple zoning text amendments, including clarifications to the definitions of “development” and “building,” and modifications to the Lower Density Growth Management Area (LDGMA) regulations affecting Staten Island and the Bronx. Rezoning efforts in Bayside, Williamsburg, and Midtown South advanced mixed-use and affordable housing projects. The issue also reports on the creation of new …

To Gauge An Understanding Of How Boundaries Are Perceived In Ireland By Landowners, Daragh O'Brien, William Prendergast Jan 2011

To Gauge An Understanding Of How Boundaries Are Perceived In Ireland By Landowners, Daragh O'Brien, William Prendergast

Conference Papers

Recent anecdotal evidence from property professionals indicates that there has been a significant increase in boundary disputes in Ireland since the phased publication of the Land Registry digital map in 2005. There is a need to investigate this development in order to confirm or refute this trend and attempt to identify the issues causing these disputes. There is an absence of detailed information on the causes and types of boundary disputes within the Irish Legal system. This project aims to address this lack of information by collecting comprehensive information on a range of case studies over the past 5 years …

The Promise And Perils Of "New Regionalist" Approaches To Sustainable Communities, Lisa T. Alexander Jan 2011

The Promise And Perils Of "New Regionalist" Approaches To Sustainable Communities, Lisa T. Alexander

Fordham Urban Law Journal

This article examines the Obama Administration's Sustainable Communities Regional Planning Grant Program as an example of new regionalism and new governance. The article outlines new regionalism's response to the failure of local government law, explains the relationship between new regionalism and new governance, and examines the regulatory structure of the Sustainable Communities Regional Planning Grant Program. After considering the strengths and weaknesses of the Grant Program, this article uses the case study of Madison, Wisconsin to analyze the Grant Program's ability to advance distributive justice.
