California Land Use & Planning Law

California Land Use & Planning Law

Cecily Talber Barclay
0/5 ( ratings)
Read Download
For over three decades, California Land Use & Planning Law has provided a succinct and definitive summary of the major provisions of California's land use and planning laws. It has been cited by the California Supreme Court and numerous appellate courts as an authoritative source. This 36th edition summarizes two years of published decisions, statutory revisions and other agency policies and guidance, including:

Analysis of the multiple legislative changes designed to promote housing development and further constrain local agency authority to disapprove housing projects that are consistent with the General Plan and zoning
Discussion of changes to the Elections Code removing the ability of initiative proponents to compel consideration of a measure at a special election
Discussion of numerous cases decided under CEQA addressing when the requirement to comply with CEQA is triggered, the types of impacts required to be evaluated under CEQA, application of exemptions and exceptions thereto, evaluation of climate change and energy impacts, and the scope of alternatives to be identified
Analysis of the continued uncertainty over the definition of the “waters of the United States” for determining federal jurisdiction under the Clean Water Act and the ongoing regulatory efforts to formulate a new definition
Analysis of new case law on the listing and delisting of species under the federal and California Endangered Species Acts, and new federal policies and regulations on the protection of critical habitat
Analysis of toughened statewide goals for reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and indications from the California Supreme Court that more stringent regulations and evolving science will affect the analysis of climate change impacts under CEQA
Discussion of case law upholding use of Mello-Roos tax imposed as a condition of approval of new residential development to finance a range of governmental services and facilities
Analysis of case law confirming there is no “discovery rule” that delays CEQA statutory deadlines until the plaintiff knows of the existence of a claim
Discussion of the Pfeiffer-McDougal rule and the circumstances when proceeding with development authorized with a permit results in waiver of objections to permit conditions

For 27 years, Dan Curtin authored this book as a desk reference for those interested in California land use and planning law. Cecily joined Dan as a co-author in 2000 and worked with him to continually update the book based on their own and their partners’ decades of experience representing both public agencies and private developers. Following Dan’s passing in November 2006, Matt joined Cecily—first as Managing Editor and later as co-author—in preserving and expanding upon the legacy Dan started with this book. Like all editions published since his passing, this book is again dedicated to Dan.
