|
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.

Lucas versus South Carolina Coastal Council*** |

|
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* |

|
Palazzolo versus Rhode Island* |
