SUMMARY:The Legal Foundation for Planning and Zoning in Alabama
DESCRIPTION:Summary\nThe purpose of this workshop is to provide local officials and the citizens who serve on local planning commissions and boards of adjustment with a basic understanding of the constitutional and statutory framework for comprehensive and regulatory planning in Alabama. Although a number of constitutional issues and landmark cases will be included in the material presented\, it should be emphasized that they will be discussed from a laymen’s and not a legalistic point of view. \n Topics include: \n\nThe evolution of legal principles relating to the public regulation of private property.\nThe origins of the current Alabama planning enabling legislation and recent efforts to amend it; the landmark decisions of the US Supreme Court relating to the regulatory and planning powers of local governments.\nThe major constitutional issues being raised in current land use litigation.\nThe procedural and strategic aspects of land use litigation.\nAlternative approaches to the resolution of regulatory issues and developmental conflicts.\nThe discussion of these topics will include reviews and analyses of significant cases through which the Alabama courts have on the one hand established doctrines and precedents\, and on the other hand created confusion.\n\nSpeaker\nKatherine Ennis currently serves as the Director of Planning & Inspections for the City of Northport\, Alabama\, where she oversees the administration of the City’s zoning ordinance\, subdivision regulations\, comprehensive plan and building code standards.
