Founder’s Award
2023 Recipient
The Land Use Law Center is pleased to honor Michael Zarin with the 2023 Founder’s Award to recognize his work as a land use attorney. Michael understands the need to balance the various land use interests, including growth, conservation, and access to housing for all. This award is bestowed each year in the name of Theodore W. Kheel, the great American attorney and labor mediator, renowned for his ability to build consensus and resolve conflicts, and who was a major supporter of the Land Use Law Center. Michael has been a staple in real estate development and litigation throughout the Hudson Valley and in New York City for more than three decades, advising his clients and writing and lecturing on policy issues, on all aspects of land use and environmental law. His innovative and collaborative approach to many of the most challenging land use development and real estate matters has made him a well respected leader in the field, and sought after in advocating in bringing these matters to successful resolutions. Michael co-founded Zarin & Steinmetz in 1997, and has overseen the firm’s rise as a recognized leader in the region in all facets of real estate and environmental and land use law. Z&S is probably one of the last boutique land use and environmental law firms in the metropolitan area, with a full array of highly skilled attorneys who specialize in this unique area of law. Michael’s practice encompasses land use/zoning, complex real estate transactions and financing, environmental law, site remediation, publicprivate partnerships, SEQRA/NEPA, urban renewal, administrative law, eminent domain, due diligence, and environmental and general litigation. He has helped private and municipal clients achieve their goals for transformational projects that have breathed new life into downtowns, waterfronts, and brownfield sites throughout the state. Michael specializes in developing pro-active and creative financing and development models, which take advantage of the latest tools in pursuing successful public-
private development and redevelopment projects. Michael has also represented clients in numerous federal, state and administrative proceedings through-out the nation, as well as intensive arbitration and mediation proceedings. Michael is also frequently retained by municipalities as Special Land Use and Environmental Counsel on large, complex development projects, and on behalf of numerous municipalities on how to make more productive use of prior contaminated or under-utilized properties. His municipal work also includes serving as an eminent domain expert, including as an expert witness for the New York City Law Department in connection with its comprehensive bluebelt condemnation program on Staten Island. Michael is an Adjunct Professor at the Elisabeth Haub School of Law at Pace University, and previously taught for six years a “Land Use Regulation” seminar at Hofstra Law School. He has lectured at the New York University Real Estate Institute, and at the Pace Law School’s Environmental Master’s Program. He is a former member of the Executive Committee of the New York State Bar Association’s Environmental Section, and Co-Chair of the Land Use Committee. He also assisted the Chief Administrative Judge for the Ninth Judicial District in the formation of a Special Environmental Claims Part for the District. Prior to forming Zarin & Steinmetz, Michael was a partner with the law firm of Sive, Paget & Riesel. He began his legal career as an associate at Weil, Gotshal & Manges in its Business Reorganization Department. Michael received his Juris Doctor from Hofstra University School of Law in 1985, where he served as Articles Editor for the Hofstra Law Review. He also received a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Wisconsin at Madison in 1976. Michael has also been involved over the years in different capacities working and consulting with various community and non-profit economic development entities in different parts of the country, as well as various public policy initiatives and issues on behalf of under-served low and moderate income localities.

Session 1 – JI- Omni Room Green and Resilient Affordable Housing This session will explore ways that the housing field can adopt environmental strategies to achieve sustainable development goals. With the worsening effects of climate change, housing is becoming vulnerable, and it must be designed, built, and located to avoid these vulnerabilities. Oftentimes, climate-resilient housing also includes aspects of green housing like energy efficiency. Both green housing and resilient housing are imperative environmental strategies that can help mitigate and adapt to climate change while meeting the demand for new housing.

Session 2 – JI-Lecture Hall Hundredth Anniversary of Pennsylvania Coal vs. Mahon: How the Takings Clause Became the Primary Check on Government Power When SCOTUS Abandoned Review Under the Due Process and Contracts Clauses During the New Deal The Takings Clause and 100 years of the Pennsylvania Coal v. Mahon doctrine have become the primary check on governmental power that the Due Process and Contracts Clause used to serve, before the Supreme Court finally and formally abandoned judicial review under those doctrines during the New Deal. Mahon transcended its primary relevance as to compensation for the taking of private property to become the fundamental means by which the Rule of Law determines of the individual’s relation with the government. This session will survey the evolution of takings law and assess its impact on federal, state and local government authority, including not only the limits of that power over private property, but how the law as created by Mahon reconciles the essential issue of an individual’s private rights as they relate to the government’s exercise of authority in the public interest. This ambitious session will predict where these trends are taking us and what constitutional, legislative, and executive initiatives should be considered.

Groundbreaker’s Award Recipient Barbara Kendall Coastal Resources Specialist 3, Office of Planning, Development & Community Infrastructure, New York State Department of State Throughout her thirty-year career Barbara Kendall has worked with communities to provide the tools to balance environmental and economic goals, ensuring that consensus building is part of the process. When serving consecutively on the Conservation Advisory Council, Zoning Board, and Planning Board in the Town of Dover, Barbara recognized that dedicated local volunteers make important decisions every day and need effective tools to do so. As Director of the Dutchess County Environmental Management Council, Barbara identified the first version of the LULA, the Community Leadership Alliance program, as perfectly designed to help 13 communities in the Wappinger Creek Watershed learn about local land use practices and come to consensus on watershed goals. The training led to formation of the Wappinger Creek Intermunicipal Council which still meets today. While at the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation, Barbara developed tools to implement the Stormwater Phase II Program, including “Stormwater Management Guidance Manual for Local Officials” and “Sample Local Law for Stormwater Management and Erosion and Sediment Control”. Barbara was honored to have John Nolon’s guidance while developing the local law, still used by DEC. Barbara also authored articles on stormwater in the Hudson River Environmental Society’s newsletter and New York Zoning Law and Practice Report. In Barbara’s current job as co-unit supervisor of the Department of State’s Local Waterfront Revitalization Program, she assists communities with implementing tools that are at the heart of the LULA program. Recently DOS developed Model Local Laws to Increase Resilience, summarized in the Fall 2021 New York Zoning Law and Practice Report in an article authored by Barbara. Protecting residents and businesses in the face of a changing climate is the next big challenge for our communities. Barbara and her husband Brad reside in the Town of Dover and enjoy hiking and canoeing in the Hudson Valley.

How Arlington, Virginia became the first jurisdiction in the National Capital Area to eliminate single-family only residential zoning In March 2023, the Arlington County Board unanimously voted to expand housing options in residential areas previously zoned exclusively for single-family homes. Located in northern Virginia proximate to Washington, D.C., housing costs in Arlington County have risen significantly over the past two decades, quickly outpacing the buying power of the average household. The decision to allow up to six units on lots zoned for low density residential followed years of significant public engagement and debate from Arlington residents. Discussion ranged from environmental and infrastructure concerns of expanding housing inventory to the racially exclusionary zoning decisions in the 1930’s that created the large swaths of Arlington formerly restricted to single family homes. County Board Chair Christian Dorsey discusses the engagement process, complex factors involved in zoning changes, and what ultimately led to the Board’s historic decision.

Lessons from Luminaries of Land Law: Latest and Greatest Decisions Once again, the shamans of land use law, some who have wandered in from the far corners of the world, like Florida, to divine the future by inspecting entrails, reading palms, poking at tea leaves, thumbing through Tarot cards, and sometimes actually reading all those boring cases. They will tell you what happened, what they as pontificators extraordinaire think it all means (these people are big thinkers), and what you need to watch out for! To top it off, this blatant bunkum and balderdash will be more entertaining than watching some fast food restaurant applicant seeking a sign variance completely making up bogus claims of “practical difficulty and unnecessary hardship.”
