Abstract Details

2003, MCP, University of Cincinnati, Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning : Community Planning.
The Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act of 2000 (RLUIPA) has great significance for planners and local governments as it provides special protection for religion from local land use laws and decision-making processes. Familiarity with RLUIPA is limited among planners and local governments as the statute has not been widely publicized or frequently litigated. This Thesis describes RLUIPA and its origin, outlines and analyzes five cases brought under the statute, and concludes in a series of recommendations and conclusions that planners and local governments can use to think about their own land use regulations and decision-making processes in light of RLUIPA's mandates. With an understanding of RLUIPA and how it can be used, planners and local governments can be more sensitive to the needs of religion within their own communities and avoid conflict under the statute.
