This section helped to learn more about zoning by-law and how the construction in the city is under control.

Housing crews have repaired most, if not all, of the run-down houses that have burdened the cities appeal over the years. I know of 3 houses that have in the last year been repaired to new and are now being sold.

First, rezoning action is quasi-judicial in nature, subject to strict scrutiny on certiorari review. Second, a landowner who demonstrates that proposed use of the property is consistent with comprehensive plan is not presumptively entitled to such use. Third, a landowner seeking to rezone a property has burden of proving that proposal is consistent with the comprehensive plan, and consequently burden shifts to the zoning board to demonstrate legitimate public purpose of maintaining existing zoning classification. Finally, the board is not

Tulsa was the first major Oklahoma city to begin an urban renewal program. The Tulsa Urban Renewal Authority was formed in July, 1959. Its first project, the Seminole Hills Project, a public housing facility was begun in 1961 and completed in 1968. The Tulsa Urban Renewal Authority was renamed the Tulsa Development Authority (TDA) in 1976. TDA acquires distressed or unwanted properties within designated urban renewal zones in order to encourage new and better development. Members of the TDA Board are appointed by the Mayor, confirmed by the City Council, and supported by city staff employees. As a public trust, TDA can exercise the right of eminent domain. One of the first major urban renewal projects was the Williams

With a growing real estate market, investors can expect a good return on their investment. In addition, the industries within the town bring in new residents and potential business income.

If nothing happens to improve the current issues, rising waters will continue to rise, corrosion and erosion will worsen, and further damage will be inflicted on buildings, homes, cars, roadways and infrastructure as a whole. Additionally, not only will the infrastructure face failure, fishery and wildlife will experience extinctions and continue to drop in numbers, farms will face struggles of production and disbursement. Consequently, the export market for Florida commodities will see a huge drop in numbers, damaging the state of the market for imports and exports in Florida. These problems are severe and will cause residents to flee the area. If residents move away, then the budgets of both the City and the County governments will take a huge loss. It seems as though the cycle does not end. The Tampa Bay area needs residents, because with residents you have an income of tax dollars. Tax dollars are important for the sustainability of public goods. When the income of tax dollars is reduced, then the effects are felt in all areas of the budget system. But with and influx of residents comes more pollution and use of resources. This “gloom and doom” outlook does not have to be the case. To ensure a brighter outlook and future for the Tampa Bay area, we must consider

There are three types of zoning changes: general zoning change, planned development district (PDD), and specific use permit (SUP). Each has a different process and requirements.

Contextualizing history is heavily intertwined with the development and shaping of Los Angeles as a whole. Los Angeles has always been deemed to be one of the hardest cities to develop in being one of the greatest cities in the world. This comes as a result of all of the history behind the buildings in the city. In addition, many of the buildings in the great city (both historical structures and regular buildings) are being renovated and reshaped to keep up with modern trends. Throughout the course of the growth of the city of Los Angeles, the city has seen a lot of growth in terms of infrastructure and population. There has been a recent growth in the popularity and demand for mixed use development. Mixed use development is a very hot

People living in Miami are in the face of danger, and for the most part they are not aware of it. Due to high population, Miami is the fourth largest city to become affected by sea level rise. (Ankum et al.) In the next 32-50 years, sea level is expected to rise by as much as two feet. (Ankum et al.) This two-foot rise will have detrimental effects on the urban settings of Miami. The amount of soil erosion that is undergoing at our beaches will greatly increase if a two-foot rise occurs. At a four-foot rise, road connectivity would begin to become affected. At a six-foot rise, Southern Florida would no longer be habitable as it would, for the most part, be underwater. Not much is being invested in mitigation efforts, most of what is being done are short term solutions. Instead of coming up with ideas to prevent and try to slow down the effects of climate change on our environment, we are focusing on ideas such as building up a sea wall, relocating power plants, and redesigning structures.

Newark is going through a time of revitalization, not gentrification. These new companies create new job opportunities for the thousands of unemployed residents. There are also many empty acres of land to construct buildings on, so there won’t be a problem about displacement. However, in some parts of Newark, the issue of racial tension is rising. The upgrading that’s taking place in Newark is to support the need of the residents and decrease many issues occurring in our society.

The policy initiative developed for the Seminole City Center project was completed using a Development Agreement (DA). The DA is the primary tool used to support economic development for the City of Seminole. The DA is derived from the 2015 Florida Statute, Chapter 163 and allows the developer and the city to negotiate certain items in the redevelopment process (Ely, 2015). It adds certainty to what can be built and how it is built. The regulation of the agreement offers assistance to the process while adjusting the agreement through terms that both sides agree upon before the final build outs. The DA becomes the primary social and political tool to ensure individual choices and the constitutional governance that
