Description

Understanding the Law of Zoning and Land Use Controls 3rd Edition Barlow Burke ISBN 9780769863771

Understanding the Law of Zoning and Land Use Controls, now in its Third Edition, is a comprehensive and accessible text that addresses zoning, land use, and environmental regulation from a national, jurisdiction-independent perspective. The book begins with a clear explanation of the constitutional framework for land use regulation, including a discussion of the Takings Clause. It then examines the basic forms of land use controls, covering both traditional Euclidean zoning and non-Euclidean regulations. The text also explores administrative and legislative remedies for land use restrictions—practical tools central to the daily practice of land use law.

The book is organized into six parts:

  • Part 1: Fundamental Concepts: The Police Power, Takings, and Zoning – Introduces the core legal principles underlying land use regulation.

  • Part 2: The Zoning Forms of Action – Examines the different legal approaches available to enforce and challenge zoning regulations.

  • Part 3: Economic Discrimination and Zoning – Analyzes issues of fairness and equal treatment in zoning practices.

  • Part 4: Wetlands and Beaches – Addresses regulation of environmentally sensitive areas.

  • Part 5: Regulating the User, Not the Use – Explores strategies for controlling land use without directly restricting specific activities.

  • Part 6: Halting an Owner's Further Regulation – Discusses legal mechanisms to limit or stop additional land use restrictions imposed on property owners.

This edition continues to provide students, practitioners, and policymakers with a thorough, practical, and clearly written guide to navigating the complex landscape of zoning and land use law.
