Agricultural Water Security and Instream Flows for Endangered Salmonids in Coastal California's Watersheds
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Mezzatesta,   Mariano; Newburn,   David A.; Brozovic,   Nicholas.
Many rural landowners within the Western United States do not have access to a secure water supply provided by a major dam or an irrigation district. Such water users must rely instead on groundwater pumping and/or seasonal water flows from tributaries. Some of these agricultural producers choose to store winter stream flows from tributaries within onsite reservoirs to secure their spring/summer water needs. However, regulatory agencies have increased restrictions on surface water storage and diversions to improve instream flows for endangered salmon, thus reducing water security for many landowners not located along the main stem.  The majority of salmon habitat is within the tributaries located throughout a watershed. Most research regarding instream...

Modeling Suburban and Rural-Residential Development Beyond the Urban Fringe
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Newburn,   David A.; Berck,   Peter.
This article investigates how land-use regulations differentially influence suburban versus rural-residential development. Particular emphasis is placed on how both the provision of municipal services (e.g., sewer and water) and zoned maximum density constrain higher-density residential development. We estimated a spatially explicit model with parcel data on recent housing development in Sonoma County, California. To account for heterogeneity in compliance with zoning regulations, we used a random-parameter logit model. The designation of sewer and water services was the most important determinant of suburban development. Meanwhile, it did not significantly affect the likelihood of rural-residential development, which actually leapfrogged into areas well...

Growth Management Policies for Exurban and Suburban Development: Theory and an Application to Sonoma County, California
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Newburn,   David A.; Berck,   Peter.
This study examines the effectiveness of growth management policies on influencing future patterns of exurban and suburban development. We initially estimate a spatially explicit model of residential development with parcel data in Sonoma County, California. This estimated model is then used to simulate the effect of urban growth boundaries (UGBs) versus allowing municipal sewer service expansion. The UGB policy decreases the amount of suburban development but is less effective in managing exurban development. The downzoning policy in agricultural and resource areas reduces the amount of exurban development, but only partially due to the prevalence of grandfathered lots in rural areas.

SPATIAL TARGETING STRATEGIES FOR LAND CONSERVATION
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Newburn,   David A.; Berck,   Peter; Merenlender,   Adina.
Purchasing development rights is a major mechanism for the protection of environmental quality and landscape amenities. This paper provides a targeting strategy for protecting multiple environmental benefits that takes into account land costs and probability of land use conversion. We compare two strategies.  Subject to a budget constraint on parcel purchases, the standard strategy is to target parcels with the highest ratio of environmental benefits to land costs.  The standard strategy selects parcels even if there is little probability that the parcel would otherwise be converted.  Our new strategy targets parcels to minimize the benefit loss from land conversion, which weights parcel based on initial benefit endowment and expected probability of land...

Exploiting spatial and temporal variations in residential subdivision development to identify urban growth spillovers
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Towe,   Charles A.; Klaiber,   H. Allen; Wrenn,   Douglas H.; Newburn,   David A.; Irwin,   Elena G.
Minimum lot size zoning requirements are a frequent policy tool used to restrict the density and location of residential development. Zoning regulations are typically instituted and adopted locally, often with limited input from surrounding jurisdictions. Autonomous local land use regulations that constrain some, but not all development within a region create discrete differences in the returns to development across otherwise similar locations and are hypothesized to lead to a lower density, more scattered land development pattern. We examine the rural down-zoning policy in Baltimore County, Maryland in 1976 and its potential effect on creating urban growth spillovers in the adjacent counties. Using propensity score matching methods combined with a...

Habitat and open space at risk and the prioritization of conservation easements
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Newburn,   David A.; Berck,   Peter; Merenlender,   Adina.
Funds available to purchase land and easements for conservation purposes are limited. This article provides a targeting strategy for protecting multiple environmental benefits that includes heterogeneity in land costs and probability of land-use conversion, by incorporating spatially explicit land-use change and hedonic price models. This strategy is compared to two alternative strategies that omit either land cost or conversion threat.  Based on dynamic programming and Monte Carlo simulations with alternating periods of conservation and development, we demonstrate that the positive correlation between land costs and probability of land-use conversion affects targeting efficiency using parcel data from Sonoma County, California.
