Implementation of Growth Management Policy in Florida Cities: Zoning Approval and Regulatory Policy Enforcement

Abstract

This study investigates the following two questions: to what extent do city governments engage in policy actions to restrict development and manage growth; and how do local political institutions shape the restrictiveness of local growth management? To answer these questions, this paper examines a broad set of government institutions extended to include the size and organization of city councils and standing committees. Our focus is on policy implementation rather than policy enactment and we apply the political market approach to examine how community demands and the political institutions of the supplier government influence how land use regulation is implemented. We focus on implementation of growth management as evidenced by zoning request approvals and regulatory enforcement. Theoretical framework includes the role of local institutions as supplier, political economy demands, and municipal context. For the hypotheses tests, we employ ordered-probit analysis.
