Hadacheck v. Sebastian URANIUM: DQ Reasoning; Possible Holdings & Rules

Hadacheck v. Sebastian: Reasoning DQ101 (Uranium) Discrimination Claim Petitioner Says: – I was singled out; ordinance passed to stop me – Other brickworks in other districts treated differently How did the court deal with this claim? – Cal SCt found ordinance not arbitrary/discriminatory – US SCt said sufficient evidence supports that finding

Hadacheck v. Sebastian: Reasoning DQ101 (Uranium) Arbitrariness/Discrimination Claims Made Frequently (Hadacheck, Miller, Penn Central) Hard to Win – Must Be: Explicit Direct Attack on Someone -OR- Very Random Exercise of Govt Power – Rare Example: Eubank (cited in Miller) complete delegation of zoning decision to neighbors with no govt oversight

Hadacheck v. Sebastian: Reasoning DQ101 (Uranium) Arbitrariness/Discrimination Claims Made Frequently But Hard to Win Generally OK to draw rough but plausible distinctions – E.g., Between people under/over 21 years old – E.g., Between neighborhoods – E.g., Between types or size of brickworks, etc. – Unless courts have found distinction problematic under Equal Protection Clause or First Amdt (race; religion, etc.)

Hadacheck v. Sebastian: Reasoning DQ101 (Uranium) Arbitrariness/Discrimination Claims Made Frequently But Hard to Win Generally OK to draw rough but plausible distinctions I won’t (intentionally) make arbitrariness a serious issue on final; don’t spend time on it!!

Hadacheck v. Sebastian: Reasoning DQ102 (Uranium) Hadacheck & the Police Power (p.104) “[O]ne of most essential powers of government—one that is the least limitable.” (p.104) “A vested interest cannot be asserted against it because of conditions once obtaining.” – MEANS?

Hadacheck v. Sebastian: Reasoning DQ102 (Uranium) Hadacheck & the Police Power (p.104) “A vested interest cannot be asserted against it because of conditions once obtaining.” Compare “Coming to the Nuisance” – Defense for Private Nuisance – Not defense for Public Nuisance

Hadacheck v. Sebastian: Reasoning DQ102 (Uranium) Hadacheck & the Police Power: Reinman Little Rock bans livery stables – Related to Change from Horses to Cars – Similar Facts Alleged re Loss of Property Value – US SCt says OK under Police Power Why does Petitioner in Hadacheck say L.A. Ordinance Distinguishable?

Hadacheck v. Sebastian: Reasoning DQ102 (Uranium) Hadacheck & the Police Power: Reinman Little Rock bans livery stables; US Sct says OK Petitioner: L.A. Ordinance Distinguishable b/c Brick- works Tied to Particular Location (Clay Pits) But Court Responds: Not Impossible to Run Business Elsewhere Reliance on Reinman suggests that under Police Power, OK to severely reduce value by eliminating current use.

Hadacheck v. Sebastian: Reasoning DQ102 (Uranium) Hadacheck & the Police Power: Kelso San Francisco banned operation of rock quarry Cal. S.Ct. said unconstitutional Why Distinguishable from Hadacheck ?

Hadacheck v. Sebastian: Reasoning DQ102 (Uranium) Hadacheck & the Police Power: Kelso San Francisco banned operation of rock quarry Cal. S.Ct. said unconstitutional; distinguishes Hadacheck because: – In Kelso, if you can’t quarry, rock is valueless – In Hadacheck, clay still has value; can remove & process elsewhere

Hadacheck v. Sebastian: Reasoning DQ102 (Uranium) Hadacheck & the Police Power: Kelso Cal. S.Ct. draws distinction between – Limit on use of land; and – Complete elimination of value US SCt not bound by California state decision. Does US SCt adopt Kelso reasoning?

Hadacheck v. Sebastian: Reasoning DQ102 (Uranium) Hadacheck & the Police Power: Kelso Cal. S.Ct. draws distinction between limit on use of land and complete elimination of value US SCt not bound by California state decision. Does US SCt adopt Kelso reasoning? – Explicitly reserves Q in last paragraph of opinion – Does note clay still is available & has value

Hadacheck v. Sebastian: Reasoning DQ102 (Uranium) Hadacheck & the Police Power: Kelso Cal. S.Ct. draws distinction between limit on use of land and complete elimination of value Distinction raises important recurring Q: In deciding if value remains, do you look at: – All property owned by claimant (quarry + rock) – Particular property most directly effected (just rock) – Still value left in quarry, but not in rock.

Hadacheck v. Sebastian: Reasoning DQ102 (Uranium) Hadacheck & the Police Power: Kelso Important recurring Q: In deciding if value remains (or amount of value lost), what portion of claimant’s property do you look at? We’ll call this the “denominator” question: – What do you use as denominator in fraction showing how much property is lost (or is left)?

Hadacheck v. Sebastian: Holding/Rules DQ103 (Uranium) What rules or principles can you derive from Hadacheck to use in future cases? Start with very broad holding: Any exercise of police power is Constitutional if not arbitrary. Narrower Versions?

Hadacheck v. Sebastian: Holding/Rules DQ103 (Uranium) Exercise of police power Constitutional if not arbitrary. – Exercise of police power Constitutional if not arbitrary and related to human health & safety – Exercise of police power Constitutional if not arbitrary and related to substantial concerns re human health & safety – Exercise of police power Constitutional if not arbitrary and prohibiting public nuisance/ harmful use of land – Exercise of police power Constitutional if not arbitrary and prohibiting public nuisance in residential neighborhood. (Burns B2)

Hadacheck v. Sebastian: Holding/Rules DQ103 (Uranium) Other possible rules or principles?

Hadacheck v. Sebastian: Holding/Rules DQ103 (Uranium) Some possible rules or principles: Prohibiting existing use not automatically unconstitutional Large decrease in property value not automatically unconstitutional Maybe: Unconstitutional if all value removed Private interests must yield to progress & good of community (cf. Shack)

Hadacheck v. Sebastian: Holding/Rules DQ103 (Uranium) Apply rules/principles from Hadacheck to “Airspace Solution” Exercise of police power Constitutional if not arbitrary. – Exercise of police power Constitutional if not arbitrary and related to human health & safety – Exercise of police power Constitutional if not arbitrary and prohibiting nuisance/ harmful use of land – Maybe: Unconstitutional if all value removed

Hadacheck v. Sebastian: Holding/Rules DQ103 (Uranium) Apply Hadacheck to “Airspace Solution”? Airspace Solution OK under broader readings of reach of police power. If Kelso rule applies, raises “Denominator Question”: Do We Look At: – All of Hammonds’s Property (Tiny % Lost) – Only at Underground Reservoirs (100% Lost)
