Land Use
Prof. Bernard V. Keenan,
2 credits day; 2 credits evening. The Land Use course does not assume a student‘s knowledge of
or familiarity with the subject matter. Classroom pedagogy involves a mix of lecture, Q&A and
problem solving. A student‘s course grade is determined solely by the student‘s performance on
an in-class, three-hour closed-book examination. The subject matter of the course is outlined in
the course description. It should be noted that classroom emphasis is focused on practice-
oriented issues, in addition to consideration of the theoretical underpinnings of the subject
matter.
This course covers the analysis of case law and relevant legislative materials relating to various
topics including variances, special permits, nonconforming uses, amendments, spot zoning,
interim zoning, contract zoning, exactions and fees, condominiums and zoning, growth controls,
cluster zoning, intergovernmental zoning conflicts, exclusionary and inclusionary zoning. The
final grade is based solely on the final examination performance.
