Description
Summary:Approximately three-quarters of the states have, at one time or another, enacted the Standard State Zoning Enabling Act of 1926 (SZEA)2 which planners frequently utilize to support zoning regulations and which allows certain local governments to undertake land use regulation.3 The Standard City Planning Enabling Act (SPEA),4 which was also enacted by about half of the states, permits adoption of a plan as a guide for future development.5 It was the SPEA that dealt with certain infrastructure that, once provided, had a more permanent effect on land uses than the imposition of zoning districts on zoning maps. [...]whereas it was typical for zone changes not to have a required basis in the plan, or for that matter for a plan to exist, the SPEA provided an expectation that a plan (again, if it existed) would be carried out in a number of ways or must specifically be overridden at the local level.
