{"title":"Ultra Vires Land Use Regulations: A Special Case in Substantive Due Process","authors":"D. Himebaugh","doi":"10.2139/SSRN.2298720","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/SSRN.2298720","url":null,"abstract":"The U.S. Supreme Court's land use jurisprudence establishes that arbitrary land use regulations violate the doctrine of substantive due process. Ultra vires land use regulations – those regulations that exceed the delegated authority of the regulating agency under state law – represent a particular type of arbitrary land use regulation. Lower federal courts that have examined such regulations are split on the question whether they violate substantive due process. This article contrasts two federal Court of Appeals cases in which property owners alleged that a local government agency deprived them of property without due process of law by enforcing an ultra vires land use regulation against them. The article concludes that, consistent with Supreme Court precedent, ultra vires land use regulations must violate the substantive due process rights of the individuals whom they affect.","PeriodicalId":315317,"journal":{"name":"Ocean and Coastal Law Journal","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121303189","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

From 2001 through 2010, approximately 175 documented drug transits from South America to global destinations occurred on self-propelled semi-submersible (SPSS)-type platforms. While transporting illicit cargo in the maritime domain is not new, the stealthy SPSS — a long-range vessel that is extremely difficult to identify and track — raised significant national security concerns. This Article examines the economic and environmental incentives that led to the development of semi- and fully-submersibles, the U.S. criminal law enacted to combat this threat, the Drug Trafficking Vessel Interdiction Act, the issues raised in the appellate cases that affirmed the Act’s constitutionality, and unresolved legal and operational issues to address the submersible threat.","PeriodicalId":315317,"journal":{"name":"Ocean and Coastal Law Journal","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121383800","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
