[CPEO-BIF] EJ and zoning

[CPEO Moderator <cpeo@cpeo.org>]

I am hoping that someone on the list-serv can help me with 
information and/or advice about how environmental justice criteria 
might be incorporated in zoning ordinances.

The city of Cincinnati is under-going a major review and re-write of 
its zoning ordinances.  The zoning and planning department has 
encouraged the city's environmental advisory council (a formal 
advisory group made up of citizen volunteers, of which I am a member) 
to submit proposals for including EJ criteria in the zoning document. 
This is a great opportunity to do something groundbreaking in 
Cincinnati and perhaps the country.

My questions are:

1. Are you aware of any city that has EJ criteria/conditions in its 
zoning document?  If so, do you know where/how I might read their 
document?

2.  Do you have any suggestions for how to best incorporate EJ 
criteria into a zoning ordinance?

3.  Are you aware of law and/or policy journal articles that discuss 
this issue?


Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

John
