I'm a Commissioner in a county that doesn't like housing developments. The east 1/3 of the county is in a water conservation district, and our zoning regulations limit residences to 3 per quarter section. The western half of the county is level land, pivot irrigated from the Oglalla aquifer, and the land is considered too valuable as farm ground to waste on residential developments.
It makes for some interesting stories. You wouldn't believe how people try to circumvent our regulations. And, one situation is still in litigation. A poor guy paid $480,000 for 80 acres of non-tillable land that assessed for $217,000. He figured to divide it into 8 ten acre plots and sell 6 of them to finance houses on the other two plots. He then found out the other 80 acres that made up that quarter section already had the entire quarter section maxed out on houses. So, he paid $480,000 for 80 acres he can't do anything with. He then sued the county for "preventing him from making use of his property".
Our zoning regulations went into effect in 2007, and he bought the land in 2016. I've read the brief our County Attorney filed in the county's defense, and the case will obviously be thrown out. After all, the onus is on any real estate purchaser to do his homework and determine beforehand that he will actually be able to use the land for his intended purpose.
