I think Conservation, Urban Revitalization, Refurbishment and Planning Law must have been ommited in the working definition of the current Renewal and Corridor development. Here is an example. https://lnkd.in/dH_249Eu

It was an important week for us as the California Coastal Commission considered and approved the County of Marin's short term rental regulations. In west Marin, community life and visitor access are inseparable. We wanted to keep the benefits of STR while limiting the likelihood that full-time commercial STR would continue to eat into scare housing stock. Where did we land? Cap STRs at around their current level, phase them out of more affordable housing types, and - most importantly - allow only one STR per operator. Our team thought this strategy would meet our goals in an effective way and happily the Commission did too! There was a lot of interest in having no limits on "hosted" STRs. We didn't go that route because of the enforcement challenge. This is a strategy that can work for renting of someone's primary/main residence, but it just doesn't fit in a place like coastal Marin with its very high share of vacation properties. We'll keep assessing whether treating hosted STRs differently than unhosted can be useful or effective for us. Final thought, the landscape of STR and housing in general is a rapidly changing one. I firmly believe in tracking the outcome of policy moves and revisiting if needed. That's all the more important for something like this issue and why we'll be doing an assessment 2 years after the new regulations are in place.

More than 100,000 acres of public land in Colorado are corner-locked - inaccessible to the public due to a checkerboard pattern of land ownership. 🏁 ❌ While these areas do come up against other public lands areas at each of the four corners, the legality of “corner cross” to access it is legally contested. After Four hunters crossed private airspace to access a public land plot, the billionaire ranch owner sued them for $7 million in damages by undermining the “exclusivity” of the ranch. 🧑🏼⚖️ 🥾 The case is now being appealed to the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals, whose decision will create precedent across multiple western states. That’s why we are focusing on unlocking access to corner-locked land as one of our 2025 Policy Priorities. Learn more about this complex land access issue in our new article.👇🏼 https://zurl.co/mwad #CornerCrossing #LandAccess #COpolicy #COleg

Chatted with the The Wall Street Journal about the challenges of maintaining transportation corridors along dynamic #coastal interfaces: https://lnkd.in/g7itDuU9 Even absent the pressures of #climatechange and #sealevelrise, building and maintaining roads and rail lines along and within coastal bluffs in tectonically-active settings is extremely difficult. But with accelerating #sealevelrise and more restricted #sediment supply to the coast in many areas over the last century, the challenge is even more daunting. This article presents a balanced perspective on the difficulty of re-locating threatened infrastructure from the coast.
