The casebook covers the history of the common law and how it evolved into America's unique system of controlling the use of private land. Traditional techniques of land use control including zoning and planning, and emerging matters including land use mediation, local environmental law, housing and community development, referenda and initiatives, smart growth, and energy are covered. Constitutional issues covered include: eminent domain, regulatory takings, religious land uses, aesthetics, adult uses, exclusionary zoning, and other forms of discrimination. Other topics include: historic preservation, telecommunications and ethics.
The bulk of the materials, beginning with Chapter IV, looks at public relation of land use. Chapter V presents the central constitutional problem of how far government regulation of land use may go before encountering constitutional restrictions on the taking of property for public use or purpose without just compensation. Chapter VI is devoted to application of the regulatory taking principles to the prevention and regulation of land development. The basics of zoning make up the seventh chapter. The final chapter deals with aesthetic regulation and preservation of resources.
