SUMMARY:Basic Zoning & Subdivision Regulations
DESCRIPTION:Summary\nYour zoning ordinance is arguably the most important device you have to implement your comprehensive plan. It provides you with the means to define the type and intensity of uses permitted on any piece of property. \nYour city’s subdivision regulations govern the manner in which vacant land is platted into streets\, blocks\, and lots in preparation for development. They are\, therefore\, very important in that they establish the street pattern and the type of improvements that must be made as land is brought into urban use. \nIn the “Basic Zoning and Subdivision Regulations” seminar\, you’ll learn the legal basis in Alabama law for regulating the use of land and its subdivision. The seminar also brings you up-to-date on how Alabama courts in the 1990s have been viewing land use issues. \nYou’ll also review: (1) How the Alabama Code defines your regulatory powers; (2) The form and content of a well-written zoning ordinance and subdivision regulations; (3) Approval processes and efficient methods of administration and enforcement; (4) Dealing with public vs. private conflicts in land use; (5) Challenges and appeals of your zoning and subdivision activities; (6) Many other timely issues \nMajor points will be well-illustrated with case studies and practical examples. \nSpeaker\nKatherine Ennis recently retired 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.
