Creator

Abstract/Description
This thesis includes an overview of modern land use regulation from the Euclid decision in 1926 to the American Law Institute's Model Land Development Code. The main emphasis of this thesis is the Code's "districts of critical state concern". Florida, in enacting the Environmental Land and Water Management Act in 1972, used the ALI Code as a model for its "areas of critical state concern".

Show moreThis thesis includes an overview of modern land use regulation from the Euclid decision in 1926 to the American Law Institute's Model Land Development Code. The main emphasis of this thesis is the Code's "districts of critical state concern". Florida, in enacting the Environmental Land and Water Management Act in 1972, used the ALI Code as a model for its "areas of critical state concern". The Florida Keys are studied in this thesis in regards to this type of designation in order to research the intergovernmental aspects and problems of this legislation. A survey of the people of the Keys and interviews with their elected officials during the first few months following their designation as one of critical state concern uncovered some of the inherent difficulties involved when the state imposes its guidelines on a local municipality within the ALI context.

Analysis of the effects of local land use legislation and monetary policy on real estate development.
Creator
Kirkpatrick, Blake Wilson., Florida Atlantic University, Manage, Neela D., College of Business, Department of Economics
Abstract/Description
Countless studies have been conducted to determine how the real estate market reacts to the economy. The most accurate studies contemplate both macroeconomic and microeconomic variables simultaneously. In analyzing real estate markets, both monetary policy and regional factors must be examined to obtain an accurate portrayal of both national and local trends. One regional factor that has affected all real estate markets, especially in the southern states, is local land use legislation. Due to...
Show moreCountless studies have been conducted to determine how the real estate market reacts to the economy. The most accurate studies contemplate both macroeconomic and microeconomic variables simultaneously. In analyzing real estate markets, both monetary policy and regional factors must be examined to obtain an accurate portrayal of both national and local trends. One regional factor that has affected all real estate markets, especially in the southern states, is local land use legislation. Due to rapid increases in population, various states have enacted growth management policies to ensure stable expansion within their regions. This study utilizes data for Broward County, Florida, to assess the impact of land use legislation on the local real estate market in comparison to macroeconomic variables. The empirical results clearly demonstrate that legislation can exert a greater influence on local housing market activity during certain periods than can macroeconomic factors such as interest rates.

Title
ECONOMIC IMPACT ANALYSIS OF THE AREA OF CRITICAL STATE CONCERN DESIGNATION ON THE FLORIDA KEYS.
Creator
YORK, MARIE LANGE., Florida Atlantic University, Nicholas, James C., College of Business, Department of Economics
Abstract/Description

In an attempt to regulate growth and its effects, the state, in 1975, designated the archipelago off its southern coast an Area of Critical State Concern.
