<br />Zoning Bulletin <br /> <br />that although ~ 2.7 allowed FERC to consider compliance with local <br />health regulations in evaluating recreational uses within a hydroelec- <br />tric power project, it did not require the licensee obtain local zoning <br />and building permits for the development of recreational resources. <br />Therefore, the court found that despite ~ 2.7, the Act preempted the <br />local zoning regulations in regard to J-L.G.'s projects. <br /> <br />See also: First Iowa Hydro-Elec.

Rep. <br />20913 (1990). <br /> <br />Case Note: In reaching its conclusion, the court stressed that <br />where the federal government supersedes the state government, <br />only the federal government has final authority. The court said <br />that a dual final authority, with a duplicate system of state per- <br />mits and federal licenses required for each project would be <br />unworkable. <br /> <br />Boundary Lines-Residents challenge expansion of city's <br />urban growth boundary <br /> <br />Residents argue city and county erred in quantity and type of <br />land added <br /> <br />Citation: Hildenbrand v.

In approving the UGB expansion, the city and coun- <br />ty predicted a need for 694 additional housing units. The city and <br />county assumed that the average lot size for each housing unit would <br />be 6,000 square feet. Based on that assumption, the city and county <br />projected a need to expand the UGB by 118 acres to accommodate <br />those housing and auxiliary uses. The plan designation of the prop"'" <br />erty changed from agricultural to high-density residential (118 acres) <br />and open space (24 acres). The zoning of the property was changed <br />from exclusive farm use to urban residential and open space uses. <br />City residents (the Residents) challenged the approval of the UGB <br />expansion to the Land Use Board of Appeals (LUBA).
