Excerpt from Rural Zoning and Your County In one county in Minnesota, the public expense of taking to school the children from 28 isolated homes averaged $185 a family - when the average tax against these farms was only $10, and not all of that was collected. In 13 typical cases where Minnesota was providing roads in 1932 for one or two families, the taxes on these farms covered less than 8 percent of the cost of the roads alone.

Excerpt from Rural Zoning Enabling Acts of the Northern Great Plains States Zoning is a function of the police power of the state. It is a form of public control over the use of private property in the interest of general welfare. Zoning may be defined as the creation of legal districts ulthin.which regulations prohibit injurious or unsuitable structures and uses of land and buildings. The use of this power directly by the state is the exception rather than the rule. Usually the power is delegated to local political subdivisions which may or may not make use of the authority as they see fit. This delegation is by an enabling act which is adopted by the legislature. Usually, such an act names the units of government/which are empowered to zone, lists the types of regulations which may be employed, establishes the procedure by which zoning ordinances are adopted and amended, and provides for a board of adjustment to grant specific cramp tions or variations from.zoning regulations in those cases where strict enforcement would be unreasonable or would result in un necessary hardship.

Excerpt from Rural Zoning in the United States: Analysis of Enabling Legislation The past two decades have brought major changes in rural America. Changes have also occurred in State enabling statutes which authorize zoning in rural and unincorporated areas. These laws are being reshaped, sometimes belatedly, to permit more suitable and effective zoning in the changing rural environment.

Excerpt from Rural Zoning: People, Property, and Public Policy This growth, largely unplanned, has provided employment, made new human resources available to communities, improved the home environment of many people, and changed both the physical and political landscape. In its wake it has also left dissatisfaction and frustration. In some places it has brought exaggerated demands for govern ment services, increasing and often inequitable taxes, and rampant ugliness.

Excerpt from Problems and Suggestions in the Drafting of Rural Zoning Enabling Legislation Zoning is, furthermore, characterized by the generalness of the regulations applied. They are not particularized. Moreover, as commonly conceived zoning cperates prospectively. It has as its object to prevent the recurrence of certain mistakes of the past; and it normally reaches only to preventing the future establishment of the designated misuse. Zoning is not a euro-all, and does not in itself constitute an entire land-use program; but it is rather one of several regulative measures which together might constitute such a program. In certain instances zoning may be desirably used as a center around which the complete program can be built. In other cases, zoning can be more appropriately used as a complement to other land-use measures. In still other cases, zoning may not be necessary at all, for either one or both of two reasons: either the circumstances do not warrant it, or other more feasible measures might accomplish under the circum stances all that zoning could accomplish. When, to what extent, and how the interest of the public in the use of lands is to be protected depends on what the circumstances call for.

Excerpt from Some Considerations in Support of the Constitutionality of Rural Zoning as a Police Power Measure In cities, roughly speaking, limitations are imposed governing what buildings may be erected on the land and in what manner, that is, the use of land for building purposes is regulated. In rural zoning, limitations will be put upon the type of agronomy which may be carried on upon the land, that is, the use of land for agronomic purposes will be regulated. As between the two cases there is an identity as to the basic object regulated and a difference merely in their respective designs, resulting from the difference in the general use to which land is put in cities and that to which it is put in the country in cities, land is used on which to erect buildings; in the country, land is used on which to grow things.
