Description
Our June 6 program is not to be missed. The morning begins with the always-popular combination of ethics for both planners and lawyers, with as much levity as the topic permits. The next panel explores the redevelopment of Metrocenter (once Arizona’s biggest mall) as a case study in planning and economic redevelopment. This is followed by an update on recent land use decisions from Arizona and federal courts.
After a buffet lunch, the keynote will dissect changes in the nature and tone of public engagement in the zoning and planning process. The Keynote Speaker is Brian Connolly, currently Assistant Professor of Business Law at the University of Michigan, after a career as a planner and lawyer in the field. The first afternoon panel will explore the state of neighborhood opposition through referend and beyond, including high-profile cases in various jurisdictions. After a short break, the day will conclude with an update on legislative affairs and what to expect in the coming year. After we adjourn, there will be an informal networking happy hour at a nearby location.
Sessions will include:
- Ethics for Planners and Lawyers—you asked for it!
- Redevelopment of Metrocenter. A case study in planning and redevelopment.
- Neighbor Opposition, Protest, and Referenda – including recent events in Scottsdale, Flagstaff, and Phoenix.
- Legislative and Caselaw Update—marijuana, group homes, open meetings, RLUIPA.
