Cityland – Vol. 8, No. 2, Center For New York City Law

CityLand - 2011

This issue of CityLand covers major land use and development initiatives in New York City as of March 15, 2011.

The City Planning Commission approved several affordable housing projects, including developments in East Harlem, the East Village, and the Bronx’s Melrose neighborhood. A mixed-use rezoning in Williamsburg advanced despite community opposition. The Board of Standards & Appeals granted a variance for the Knickerbocker Hotel’s conversion back to hospitality use and approved expanded commercial use for a …

Integrating Sustainable Development Planning And Climate Change Management: A Challenge To Planners And Land Use Attorneys, John R. Nolon 2011 Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University

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 2011 Texas A&M University School of Law

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. Highlights include the City Council’s rejection of the landmark designation for Grace Episcopal Church Memorial Hall in Queens, citing community opposition and procedural concerns. 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 …

Newport's Mooring Regulations: Legal And Policy Analysis, Jenna Algee 2011 Sea Grant Law Fellow, Roger Williams University School of Law

Newport's Mooring Regulations: Legal And Policy Analysis, Jenna Algee

Sea Grant Law Fellow Publications

The legal and policy issues facing Newport as it revises and implements its ordinances are numerous. Most of the issues have not been squarely resolved for Rhode Island. While Newport may take guidance from other states, it will be Rhode Island's task going forward to define the reach of its Public Trust Doctine as applied to some novel issues raised by mooring administration. The benefit of the flexibility of the PTD is allowing smaller units of government like Newport to define their regulatory goals based on a locally-tailored balancing test of competing interests facing scarce ocean resources. This report was …
