Does Zoning Create a Vicious Circle Or Can It Fix Itself?
Ideally, planners could balance homeowners interests in zoning against the public good, liberalizing zoning when prices got too high. But this may be politically impossible. Share
As I and many others have argued (both in Planetizen and elsewhere) existing zoning increases housing costs and accelerates suburban sprawl by restricting the housing supply available in close-in, walkable neighborhoods. It could be argued, however, that planners can both use zoning to slow neighborhood change and keep housing affordable. This would be the case if when rents rose significantly, political pressure to liberalize zoning increased, thus slowing the growth of rent and housing prices. If this were the case, zoning would be self-correcting and thus more defensible.

On March 3, 2021, the Office of Renewable Energy Siting (“ORES”) issued the much-anticipated final regulations implementing New York State’s new large-scale renewables siting and permitting process (“the Section 94-c process”). The final regulations are substantially similar to the draft regulations that ORES issued on September 16, 2020, but add a few key requirements to the pre-application consultation period, scope of studies, and the contents of a complete application. Below, we outline a few of the key changes from the draft regulations. For an overview of the draft regulations and how the new large-scale renewable project siting process deviates from the Article 10 siting process, read our alert here.
