Held Virtually
This course will provide an overview of land use moratorium, a local enactment that suspends a landowner’s right to obtain development approvals while the local government considers changes to its comprehensive plan and/or land use regulations. The course is designed to help local officials decide when to adopt moratoria and for how long, what development to suspend, and what uses should be granted exceptions. Participants will gain a better understanding of the following: -The legal constraints that local officials should be aware of when thinking about enacting a moratorium -How municipalities have used moratoria successfully, as well as a few cases in which courts invalidated a municipality’s moratorium law There is no fee to attend, but registration is required. This program qualifies for 1 CLE credit in the Areas of Professional Practice (non-transitional attorneys). This course (1.5 hours) can be utilized towards fulfillment of the 4 hour New York State required training for municipal planning and zoning officials.
