[Boise] Land Use and Zoning (E1180) • 4 Credits

This course provides a thorough examination of the laws designed to protect private land rights while also exploring the legal framework that allows the public to regulate private land use. A key focus is on the Local Land Use Planning Act (LLUPA), which outlines the authority of local governments in land use decisions. The course delves into the required components mandated by law, such as subdivision regulations, which govern how land can be divided for development, and annexation, which involves the incorporation of land into municipal boundaries. By studying these legal principles, students will gain a deeper understanding of the balance between private property rights and public control in land use planning.
