The new edition enables professors to teach a broad range of
traditional and innovative land use law subjects, ranging from
zoning and site planning to sustainable development. The first six
chapters of the book focus on traditional practice areas in land
use regulation at the state and local levels, and includes a full
range of federal First and Fifth Amendment issues as well as
preemption (all from the existing chapters in the book which have
updated notes/commentary and a sprinkling of new principal cases,
enough to modernize the book without requiring significant teaching
overhauls). For a nuts-and-bolts approach to land use law the first
two-thirds of the book will fully cover a three-credit course. The
next three chapters explore land use techniques that go beyond
traditional planning and Euclidean zoning such as smart growth,
transit-oriented development, new urbanism, and form based zoning.
Energy and building codes that address environmental and social
concerns are explored, as is the topic of local environmental law
that includes: aquifer, wetlands, habitat, and steep slopes
protection; storm water control; and floodplains management. How
environmental impact review, biological sequestration, and climate
change mitigation integrate with local land use regulation is also
explored. The book ends with a focus on the critical connection
between human settlement patterns-the result of local zoning and
land use plans-and climate change management, where students
examine methods employed by local governments, with state
encouragement, to use land use planning and regulation to design
buildings, neighborhoods, cities, and regions to reduce energy and
fossil fuel consumption and lower carbon dioxide emissions. For
professors and students interested in discovering effective methods
for dealing with the worsening threat of climate change, workable
strategies and needed encouragement are provided. The last third of
the book works well for faculty who wish to challenge students to
creatively apply the tools they have learned about to address
cutting edge issues facing communities. Faculty have used this
material in the basic land use course, as a one credit add-on, and
as material for an advanced land use course (making it convenient
for students to keep the book).
