Recalibrating The Federal Government's Authority To Regulate Intrastate Endangered Species After Swancc, Jeffrey H. Wood 2018 Florida State University College of Law

Recalibrating The Federal Government's Authority To Regulate Intrastate Endangered Species After Swancc, Jeffrey H. Wood

Florida State University Journal of Land Use and Environmental Law

The federal government has spent the last thirty years regulating activities that affect endangered species regardless of the species' impact on interstate commerce. The federal government used the Commerce Clause to justify such a wide range of activities there seemed to be no limit to the federal government power to intervene on behalf of endangered species. This scheme changed radically with the Supreme Court's decision in Solid Waste Agency of Northern Cook County v. United States Army Corps of Engineers. The holding implied that federal regulation of isolated, intrastate ponds unconstitutional. This article outlines the framework that produced the SWANCC …


Downzoning, Fairness And Farmland Protection, Jesse J. Richardson, Jr. 2018 Virginia Tech

Downzoning, Fairness And Farmland Protection, Jesse J. Richardson, Jr.

Florida State University Journal of Land Use and Environmental Law

The author addresses the role of "downzoning" in smart growth efforts. Initially, the article summarizes the six major potential legal challenges against downzoning to protect farmland and how each of these legal causes of action attempts to address "fairness." The causes of action include: direct challenges of the act, spot zoning, takings, substantive due process, equal protection, and 42 U.S.C. 1983. Then, the article describes and refutes the major arguments posited by those supporting the fairness of downzoning without compensation to landowners. The author concludes that the awkward intervention of the court into these matters results from inherent unfairness of …


Equitable Apportionment Of Ecosystem Services: New Water Law For A New Water Age, J. B. Ruhl 2018 The Florida State University College of Law

Equitable Apportionment Of Ecosystem Services: New Water Law For A New Water Age, J. B. Ruhl

Florida State University Journal of Land Use and Environmental Law

This article is an edited and annotated version of remarks delivered by the author at the FSU College of Law's forum on The Future of the Appalachicola-Chattahoochee-FlinRt iver System: Legal, Policy, and Scientific Issues, held on November 5, 2003. The purpose of the article is to suggest that the greater understanding we have today of the role ecological processes play in delivering tremendous economic value to human populations demands that the law recognize these important ecosystem services as a critical factor in the interstate water apportionment calculus. The author makes this point in the context of the dispute over the …


Takings And Transitions, Holly Doremus 2018 University of California, Davis

Takings And Transitions, Holly Doremus

Florida State University Journal of Land Use and Environmental Law

This article explores the inconsistent doctrines advanced by the courts in determining regulatory takings cases. Given the current nature of this area of the law, the author proposes an alternative test to apply in takings cases to provide more straight-forward treatment. That test would encompass four factors: 1) the justification for regulatory change; 2) the extent to which change was foreseeable in advance, and the ability of the landowner to adapt to that change; 3) the abruptness of the change; and 4) the generality of its application. Since regulatory takings claims are entirely about change, the author argues that the …
