This session is designed to meet the mandatory AICP Certification Maintenance
(CM) topic credit for Law. Recent decisions from courts and administrative law settings are reshaping planning practice. This 60-minute update covers: (1) accessory uses under local zoning; (2) “NEPA Back to Basics” after the U.S. Supreme Court’s Seven County decision; and (3) impact fees and other exactions after Sheetz, plus the Maui Lani case—“How many bites at the apple can you take?”—on finality and repetitive challenges. Participants will learn to spot accessory-use issues, scope NEPA review, and evaluate exactions and fee programs consistent with current law. This session is for educational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice.
