Environmentally sensitive land use regulation in California
Journal Article
·
· San Diego Law Rev.; (United States)
OSTI ID:5304095
The thesis of this article is that by arguing analogously from the National Environmental Policy Act to California Environmental Quality Act to obtain adequate disclosure of adverse environmental effects from proposed land uses and by using the facts thus disclosed in making the requisite findings for the Coastal Zone Initiative (popularly known and Proposition 20) and other laws regulating new subdivisions, decision makers may be required to deny permits in certain environmentally sensitive areas that are currently under great development pressures. This paper also analyzes several California and non-California court cases to approach the issue of whether this denial constitutes an unconstitutional use of the police power. To fully comprehend the possible far-reaching effects of these statutes and cases an understanding of environmentally sensitive land use regulation, the participants in the systems, and the role of the courts in the local decision making is essential.
