For many years, enabling
statutes have authorized a broad array of local governments to deal with
the pressures of development. Municipalities have historically enacted
zoning, subdivision regulation site plan approval and other traditional
land use controls. More recently, municipalities have begun to regulate
in more non-traditional areas, such as historic preservation,
architectural review, flood control, etc.
Municipal
officials—and the municipal attorneys who guide them—are
faced with the problem of enacting and administering these land use
controls. In addition, when these local land use regulations are
violated, municipal officials must devise strategies for the enforcement
thereof.
This program provides a
basic-level review of the typical methods of enactment, administration
and enforcement of various land use regulations. Included in this review
is a discussion of how to comply with the State Environmental Quality
Review Act (SEQR) in the enactment and administration of these controls.
In addition, the various state and federal restraints on enforcement of
these controls are discussed.
