Abstract:
|
We employ the political market framework to explain differences in local government land use decisions. This framework conceptualizes policy choices as resulting from the interplay between the aggregate policy demand by residents, developers and environmental interests and the aggregate supply by government authorities. The framework emphasizes the role of local legislative and executive institutions as mediators of local policy change. Intergovernmental variation in the level of delay imposed through the processes of development approval by city and county governments are investigated. Because county governments make land use decisions in unincorporated areas, we model these areas, as well as cities, as nested within the structure of counties. Hierarchical linear analysis of data collected in a 2007 survey of Florida city and county planners finds some support for multilevel relationships. We find that fragmentation of development interests leads to longer review times. |
