Synopsis: "Land Use Planning in California: An Essential Reference" by Emeritus Professor Thomas Jacobson is a comprehensive guide to how land use planning works in the state of California. This edition of "Land Use Planning in California: An Essential Reference" from Solano Press Books features extensive and easy-to-use cross-references that will help professional and non-professional readers find what they need and understand the connections and interrelationships among a wide range of planning topics related to California land use issues and laws.

Critique: Thoroughly up to date and impressively 'user friendly' in organization and presentation, "Land Use Planning in California: An Essential Reference" must be considered as a core and essential addition to personal, professional, community, California state government real estate and land use commission, college, and university library collections and supplemental curriculum studies lists.
