INTRODUCTION TO LAND USE PLANNING Why do we need land use planning?

1. Land use planning versus land use controls land use planning: a definition land use controls: a definition

- land use planning: a definition Planning is an ecosystem based tool that can link the environment, the community and the economy in ways that help ensure the sustainability of resources. “Planning is expected to integrate environmental, social and economic values, resolve conflicts, build common land use objectives, ensure openness and inclusiveness as well as adapt to global, national and local needs and preferences”

- land use controls: a definition Land use controls are public or private rules that influence or restrict the use of land to protect or promote the health, safety, or welfare of the community. Public rules: laws, ordinances and regulations imposed by federal, state or local government. Private rules: deed restrictions and covenants Influence or restrict the use of land: by setting forth what we can and cannot do with land - certain rules like tax benefits and subsidies influence use of land

2. Why is there a need for land use planning the nature of land the nature of land ownership the nature of use impacts

The nature of land Land is all of those resources that are naturally endowed – on top of the ground, beneath it and the air (vertical space above the ground). The single resource on which all life depends Where portions of land can be privately owned it is referred to as real estate or real property that is identifiable by means of boundary markers which are legally enforced/protected. Land is all of those resources that are naturally endowed – on top of the ground, beneath it and the air (vertical space above the ground Where portions of land can be privately owned it is referred to as real estate or real property that is identifiable by means of reference markers. Land is also an asset that can be transferred and which as such is protected by the legal of the country (most western societies have strict laws that protect the value, ownership and conveyance of land)

The nature of land (2) Land is also an asset that can be transferred under guarantees enforced by the legal system of the state (most western societies have strict laws that protect the value, ownership and transferring of land). - As such, land is the wealth of a nation.

The nature of land ownership: Bundle of sticks (rights and constraints) (see handout)

Land use associated problems 3i) Urban Sprawl “Gentleman farms” Ribbon development Urban splatter (leap frog development)

Land Use Impacts :Problems and issues 3ii) Loss of farmland: increased need for irrigation Increased soil erosion Instability in crop production Loss of amenity associated with cropland (aesthetic value) reduction in available prime agricultural lands

Land use impacts:Problems and Issues: 3iii) Fiscal effects of land use change local tax increase or decrease increased demand for infrastructure and other amenities (schools, safety services …) changing fortunes of municipalities (losses and gains in tax revenues

Land Use impacts: Problems and issues 3 iv) Degradation of the natural environment Impacts on air, and water quality Excessive water withdrawal Energy waste Destruction of wildlife habitat Visual blight (introduced incongruence – emphasis on what does not fit)

Land use impacts: Problems and issues 3v) Destruction of valued cultural and historical assets sense of place historically significant structures other cultural sites King’s trail Hawai`i Island

Land use impacts: problems and issues 3vi) Developments: Concerns for equity and inclusiveness Affordable housing for the poor sustainability of resources and cultural diversity ensuring democracy and citizen participation

Land Use: discontent and conflict Underlying causes: Ownership Uses and their impacts Pace of change

Land ownership and uses USA: Fig 1-1, Page 5 Platt. Private 58%, Federal: 34%, State & local govt.: 6%, Indian Tribes: 2% HAWAI`I: Private: 62%, Federal 8%; State & local govt. 30% (includes 5% DHHL) (see: Atlas of Hawai`i, p. 225-232)

Land Use Categories Conventional categories: Agriculture (cropland) Forestland, wetlands, grassland, recreation... Urban (< 10% land area) Hawai`i: Agri: 45%, Conservation: 38, Urban & Rural less than 20% (See percentages: web sources)

Land Use Change Methods of estimation (See sample from web search.) See Table 1-1, p. 11, Platt for changes in agri. land area since 1959.
