Berman versus Parker***

1954. Eminent domain.

Golden versus Town of Ramapo***

1972. The court upheld a growth management system that awarded points to development proposals based on the availability of public utilities. Case adds timing and sequencing to two existing dimensions of zoning: type and location of land uses.

Southern Burlington County NAACP v. Township of Mount Laurel

City of Eastlake versus Forest City Enterprises**

1976. Referendum case. SCOTUS upholds the Ohio Constitution, which gives the people referendum power over any question municipalities can control by legislation. The people reserved the power unto themselves, so it is not an unlawful delegation of legislative power.

Detroit versus American Mini Theatres**

1976. SCOTUS upholds Detroit ordinance that requires dispersion of adult uses. Not a violation of 1st Amendment, nor is it a violation based on licensing requirements.

Associated Homebuilders of Greater East Bay versus Livermore**

Moore versus City of East Cleveland***

1977. SCOTUS holds that ordinance limiting the number of blood relatives that can live together violates due process.

Penn Central Transport versus City of New York***

1978. SCOTUS holds that denial of permit to build a skyscraper over Grand Central Station is not a taking. Law permits present use and a reasonable return on investments made. Especially since air rights were transferrable. Establishes legality of TDRs. Upholds NYC's Landmarks Preservation Law.

Metromedia versus City of San Diego***

1981. SCOTUS holds than an ordinance that bans all off-premise signs violates 1st Amendment because it effectively bans non-commercial speech on billboards/off-premise signs.

Loretto versus Manhattan Teleprompter ***

1983. Requires fair-share housing.

Members of City Council versus Taxpayers for Vincent*

1984. SCOTUS upholds LA ordinance that bans signs attached to utility poles. Says that ordinance met all tests under Central Hudson (1980).

1985. SCOTUS holds that Zoning Ordinance requiring special permit for group homes is discriminatory because similar uses did not require permits.

Williamson County Regional Planning Commission v. Hamilton Bank*

1985. SCOTUS addresses ripeness of takings claim. Need to exhaust all local remedies first. Get a final decision from local approval body before taking to court.

City of Renton v. Playtime Theaters**

1986. SCOTUS upholds a Zoning Ordinance that limits adult uses to 5% of land area. Renton used a Seattle study showing negative effects of adult uses. Did not have to show that reasonable alternative locations existed. Zoning Ordinance also passed Central Hudson test. No 1st or 14th amendment violations.

Keystone Bituminous Coal v. De Benedictus**

1987. SCOTUS dramatically alters the regulatory taking theory in Pennsylvania Coal versus Mahon as it applies to coal subsidence. Court upholds a statute quite similar to the one it overturned in 1922. Difference in how each act defined property - Keystone uses much broader scope for defining property value.

1st English Evangelical Lutheran Church versus County of Los Angeles***

1987. Moratorium can be a a taking. The temporary loss of use was enough to qualify for damages.

Nollan versus California Coastal Commission***

1987. SCOTUS requires that any condition imposed (an exaction) must have a rational nexus to a legitimate state interest.

Lucas versus South Carolina Coastal Council***

1992. SCOTUS holds that a taking categorically occurs when all economically beneficial use of the land is denied - does not even need to consider whether the regulation advances a legitimate state interest.

Dolan versus City of Tigard***

1994. SCOTUS holds that even if there is a rational nexus between exaction and state interest, it may still be a taking if the regulation is not roughly proportional to the impact of the development. In this case, requiring dedication of flood plain goes far beyond impact of the development.

Village of Willowbrook versus Olech*

2000. An individual can be a "class of one" when claiming violation of the equal protection clause. Violation occurs when government treats one differently from others similarly situated AND there is no rational basis for the difference in treatment, even if there is no ill will or vindictivenes shown on the part of the government.

Palazzolo versus Rhode Island*

2001. SCOTUS holds that a takings analysis is not irrelevant simply because new owner acquired property after regulations became effective. Palazzolo claimed inverse condemnation, after being denied permit to fill 18 acres of coastal wetlands.

City of Los Angeles v. Alameda Books

2002. Court upholds LA ban on more than one adult use in the same building because of evidence that shows negative secondary effects of concentrated adult uses.

Tahoe-Sierra Preservation Council versus Tahoe Regional Planning Association***

2002. SCOTUS holds that the "mere enactment" of moratoriums is not a takings. Moratoria imposed during the preparation of a comp plan are not categorical takings. Courts must weigh particular circumstances of each case.

Kelo versus New London***

2005. SCOTUS upholds a Connecticut takings case where land was taken for private redevelopment as per Berman. Bad political reaction has led to many states limiting eminent domain use to strictly public end uses.

Lingle versus Chevron***

2005. SCOTUS holds that the "substantially advances" test created by Agins is actually a test for due process, not a takings test.

City of Rancho Palos Verdes versus Abrams*

2005. SCOTUS determines that monetary damages are not a remedy under the Telecommunications Act of 1996.

San Remo Hotel versus City and County of San Francisco**

2005. SCOTUS holds that states can adjudicate challenges to land use decisions, and that plaintiffs are not entitled to cases in both federal and state court systems.

Rapanos versus United States**

2006. SCOTUS holds the Army Corps must show that wetlands have a significant nexus to navigable waters to be within their jurisdiction.
