- W305091774 abstract "I. INTRODUCTION During the late 1990s, the City of Payson, Utah, received several applications to rezone portions of the west side of the interstate corridor to accommodate medium-density and high-density housing1 in accordance with Payson City's comprehensive plan2-a plan that outlines the general goals and vision of the city's future development.3 Payson City denied the applications without providing any basis justifying its decision.4 The landowners involved in both proceedings filed suit against Payson City, and the trial court reversed Payson City's decision because it had evidentiary support other than popular opinion.5 On appeal, the court of appeals held that no factual basis or evidence supporting the city's denial of the rezoning petition was required because as a legislative proceeding, the decision need only be reasonably debatable.6 While the character of the hearings was not in dispute, the legislative nature of the public hearings was less than obvious. The Payson City Council basically heard arguments from two groups of people: those whose properties would be affected negatively by the zoning change and those whose property would be affected positively. At heart, the city council made an adjudication of individual property owners' rights and bowed to popular opinion. Such a decision completely ignored the important principles of effective planning and the due process rights of property owners. Although zoning amendments have many characteristics that reflect adjudicative rather than legislative decision-making, most courts view such city council decisions as legislative actions requiring great deference.7 Such light judicial review allows municipalities to sacrifice the due process and property rights of certain individuals to the private interests of other individuals under the guise of public interest and legislative power.8 It also leads to poor planning, leaving cities with a mess of ad hoc zoning based on individual developer petitions and plans.9 Since land use regulation first became a cognizable form of state police power in the early part of the last century,10 the judiciary has reviewed local land use decisions11 in order to ensure compliance with state statutes, due process, and property rights. In reviewing these decisions, courts became aware of the importance of maintaining legislative deference without compromising adjudicative legitimacy. In striking this balance, courts have created a maze of jurisprudence aimed at developing a system of meaningful review for local adjudicative decisions while maintaining deference to legislative decisions.12 Recognizing that the difference between legislative and adjudicative decisions is subtle, courts have developed two separate tests to help determine what category a land use decision falls into. Also, many courts have strived to maintain high deference to legislative land use decisions,13 while a few courts have restricted legislative deference based on a justifiable fear of irrational and unsubstantiated local land use decisions that are heavily influenced by particular groups or constituencies and rarely promote the central goals of community planning.14 While partially based on practical concerns, the legislative/adjudicative distinction is also based upon the principled separation of powers doctrine, which mandates that legislative power be treated differently from adjudicative power.15 Because separation of powers is often strained and vague at the local level,16 some scholars have attempted to rework these principles so as to better apply them to local government.17 Few scholars, however, have examined the possibility of abandoning the distinction and developing one standard of review for land use decisions18 and limiting pure legislative power in local land use to the development of a general or comprehensive plan.19 In 1999, the Utah Supreme Court arguably suggested such a standard of review in Springville Citizens for a Better Community v. …" @default.
