ACCOMMODATING HOME RULE IN STATE LAND-USE REFORM. IN: MODERNIZING STATE PLANNING STATUTES: THE GROWING SMART WORKING PAPERS, VOLUME ONE

Our patterns of land consumption are neither economically competitive nor environmentally sound. Local, regional, state, and federal actions that direct, influence, or react to land development may be called the national "land-use system." Our not "growing smart" must be due, in part, to deficiencies in this land-use system. This working paper identifies those deficiencies, concentrating first on local home rule. Accepting the importance of local control, this paper seeks to establish standards for evaluating state statutes designed to correct these deficiencies.
