The Land Use Initiative provides expert analysis and guidance of the legal, planning, economic and environmental issues surrounding legislative and regulatory land-use proposals to state and local REALTOR® Associations upon request. Below are the key highlights from second quarter of 2018.
Key Highlights:
A total of fourteen requests were processed during the months of April through June. There were a mix of proposed ordinance issue areas: short-term rentals, vacant properties, comprehensive plans, to name a few.
- Three jurisdictions proposed short-term rental regulations (Indian Harbour Beach, Florida; Columbus, Ohio; State of Massachusetts).
- Two jurisdictions proposed vacant property type ordinances (Oakland, California and Cleveland Heights, Ohio).
- Local governments in historical or unique areas use design standards to ensure consistency in the look of homes or buildings within the community.
