Featured Speakers:

Brian Hodges – Managing Attorney, Northwest Center of the Pacific Legal Foundation.

Rich Hill – Partner, McCullough Hill Leary.

Bill Severson –  Represented the property owners in McClung v. City of Sumner, a precursor to Koontz.

Last year, in Koontz v. St. Johns River Mgmt. Dist., the United States Supreme Court reaffirmed that the Takings Clause of the Constitution bars government from using the permit process to make extortionate demands from owners and developers. Now, 18 months later, we review the impact of Koontz on land use permitting — what issues that have been resolved and what issues remain in dispute. Our presenters will share their first-hand experience in litigating Takings issues.

This event has been approved for 1.5 hours of CLE credit.
