Animal House and Land-Use Laws?: I suppose we have to admire them – and then again, maybe not. Findlaw has an interesting story about what happens when land-use laws mix with religion and frat boys (among others).

Proposed Temporary Measure 37 Rules:
The Land Conservation and Development Commission (LCDC) is considering the adoption of temporary administrative rules that specify information required in a written demand for compensation (a “claim”) under Measure 37.The temporary rules would apply only to claims filed with the State of Oregon after Dec. 4, 2006, and would require that claims based on existing laws include evidence that:
1) the owner has filed a complete land use application with a city or county;
2) the city or county has made a final decision on that application; and
3) the application was denied or conditioned because of a state statute, or an LCDC goal or rule (or a local regulation that implements a state statute, or an LCDC goal or rule).
The LCDC’s M37 webpage is here.
