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 …

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.

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.

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 2011 Technological University Dublin

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 2011 Fordham Law School

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.


Fostering Regionalism: Comment On "The Promise And Perils Of 'New Regionalist' Approaches To Sustainable Communities", Nestor M. Davidson 2011 Fordham University School of Law

Fostering Regionalism: Comment On "The Promise And Perils Of 'New Regionalist' Approaches To Sustainable Communities", Nestor M. Davidson

Fordham Urban Law Journal

This brief comment, written in response to Professor Lisa Alexander's, "The Promise and Perils of 'New Regionalist' Approaches to Sustainable Communities," reviews Professor Alexander's assessment of the US Department of Housing and Urban Development's Sustainable Communities Regional Planning Grant Program. This comment suggests that although the ability to approach regionalism from a national perspective does not ensure that local power dynamics will not be replicated, the distance and independence that the federal perspective provides may in fact be a cause for optimism, particularly for those marginalized at the local level.


Regular Takings Or Regulatory Takings?: Land Expropriation In Rural China, Valerie Jaffee Washburn 2011 University of Washington School of Law

Regular Takings Or Regulatory Takings?: Land Expropriation In Rural China, Valerie Jaffee Washburn

Washington International Law Journal

This article takes as its starting point the recent spate of unrest in rural China over government takings of rural, agricultural land. Though the popular and scholarly press has paid a great deal of attention to this issue, few analyses have explored in depth the institutional and legal framework surrounding it. This piece first attempts such an exploration and concludes that the underlying issues have as much to do with China's national land use regulatory system as they do with the behavior of local governments that seize privately-farmed land for other uses. In fact, it is more productive to see …
