Keep a record. %3.eh reviewing or revising the [and
<br />development ordinance, it is important to have a notebook
<br />record of'definitions that seem ambiguous or subject to
<br />conflicting interpretations in practice. Planners should be
<br />watchful of other municipalities' ordinances and good
<br />definitions within them. Keeping notes also means staying
<br />current as new names are applied to old standards identifying
<br />emerging trends, changing i:unctions, or cultural
<br />transfbrmations (e.g., mego-churches, megaplexes (multiscreen
<br />movie houses), the range of new retail operations such as big-
<br />box retailers and category killers, or even financial services
<br />centers--known previously as check-cashing establishments).
<br /> rM we noted in the two previous editions oic The/lhtstrared
<br />Book of Development Definitions (with the third edition due [.br
<br />publication in early 2004), many of the definitions came from
<br />axrictes in P/anni~, £and-DSc Law and Zoning Digest, Zoning
<br />~Vews, and Planning Advisory Service publications. In our
<br />opinion, regular perusal of' these publications is the best wW to
<br />stay current.

<br /> As one might suspect, dais book is about far more than
<br />zoning. But much o£ it h about zoning, necessarily, because of
<br />the politics of agriculture in Nebraska. Unlike many other
<br />midwesrcrn stares, Nebraska has long endowed irs counties with
<br />zoning powers that do not exempt agriculture (rom land-use
<br />regulations. Still, until concentrated animal ~-eeding operations
<br />appeared on the scene in the 1990s, {e~ver than one-third of the
<br />state's 93 counties had used their zoning powers: with most
<br />preferring a conservative, rural stance chat distrusted such
<br />regulation. R~t~iztg ,~ 5'rink cells the stor,.~ of the massive political
<br />confrontations chat ~oilowed, evenma{l? causing ail but rhree
<br />counties ~o adopt planning and zoning regulations ~o address
<br />the issue, with our major court case from Holt Counqy causing
<br />~he stare supreme court ~o side with counties when their powers
<br />were challenged by. a prominent hog operator (see "Nebraska
<br />Supreme Court Uoholds CAFO Zoning," ~'vra,,, 2002).
