Those of you who are members of the ABA Section of State and Local Government Law, tune in tomorrow, Friday, September 11, 2015 for the Land Use Committee’s monthly call.
It will feature two speakers, talking about the California Supreme Court’s recent decision upholding San Jose’s “workforce housing” requirement against a claim that it was an “exaction” and thus should have been subject to the nexus and rough proportionality requirements of Nollan, Dolan, and Koontz.
Law of Affordable/Workforce Housing Exactions and Set-Asides
FREE Teleconference Sponsored by the Land Use Committee
Friday, September 11, 2015
2:00 p.m. EST
Dial-in 888-3967955
Passcode 797687#
Speakers: David L. Callies, FAICP, Kudo Professor of Law at the University of Hawaii
Tim Iglesias, Professor of Law at the University of San Francisco School of Law (Professor Iglesias organized and co-authored an amicus brief in support of the City of San Jose).
The speakers will discuss the holding and rationale of the recent California Supreme Court decision in California Building Industry Association v. City of San Jose which challenged an inclusionary zoning ordinance and the effect of this decision on the law of affordable/workforce housing exactions and set-asides, and implications for exactions and impact fees generally. The court found that the challenged inclusionary zoning ordinance was a land use regulation subject to rational basis review and not an exaction subject to heightened judicial scrutiny.
Come join us for this timely and fascinating topic.
