Abstract
This article discusses the critical area procedures that are an important part of the American Law Institute's Model Code provisions for state land development regulation. The statutory system for the administration of critical area controls is examined, problems of implementation are noted, and some possible revisions in the statutory proposals are suggested. Recent state legislation enacting the critical area concept is then compared with the American Law Institute proposals.
