- Title
Theory and Practice in the Granting of Dimensional Land Use Variances: Is the Legal Standard Conscientiously Applied, Consciously Ignored, or Something in Between?
- Authors
Sampson, Randall W.
- Abstract
The article focuses on the study which examines the reasons why the variance granting boards reach the decisions they do in the U.S. According to the author, since their inception almost a century ago, the inexact arts of comprehensive land use planning and zoning as well as the sundry regulatory efforts that works in partnership with them created an opportunity for conflict in American communities. However, this is not to criticize the regulation of land use paired with humanity and geography or individual and community rights and responsibilities. However, any efforts to regulate in this board arena of land use clearly entails what has historically been very protective attitude in the country towards the so called private property rights.
