Next week, we’ll be at the Denver Law School for the 2026 Rocky Mountain Land Use Institute’s “Western Places | Western Spaces” conference (Mar. 4-6, 2029, Denver U. Law School).
Earlier in our career, we were a fairly regular attendee, but for mesne reasons (unrelated to the conference) our ability to attend kind of fell off. Recognizing that shortcoming, we attended the 2025 Conference last spring. This convinced us that indeed we had been missing out. In short, the RMULI has returned as a featured event on our annual calendar.
Check out the agenda. Chock full of the topics we love. Lots of sessions on housing issues, planning and zoning, hot topics in land use, and related. And several of our Pacific Legal Foundation colleagues are speaking on the topic of exactions and land use law after Sheetz v. County of El Dorado, the case in which the Supreme Court concluded that the Nollan/Dolan/Koontz nexus and rough proportionality standards applicable to exactions imposed in an administrative process also apply when an exaction is imposed via generally-applicable legislation.
Join us by registering here. If you are at the conference, please say hello!
