16 U.S.C. § 460x–12 — Condemnation of commercial property
submitted 56 years ago by Pub. L. 91-479 to r/title-16-CONSERVATION · 107 words · no verdicts yet
The Secretary generally can't seize existing commercial businesses through condemnation, as long as the business fits the lakeshore's purpose and doesn't hurt its beauty. The law lists farms, motels, cottages, marinas, and professional offices as businesses that count as compatible.
In any case not otherwise provided for in this subchapter, the Secretary shall be prohibited from condemning any commercial property used for commercial purposes in existence on December 31, 1964, so long as, in his opinion, the use thereof would further the purpose of this subchapter, and such use does not impair the usefulness and attractiveness of the area designated for inclusion in the lakeshore. The following uses, among others, shall be considered to be uses compatible with the purposes of this subchapter: Commercial farms, orchards, motels, rental cottages, camps, craft and art studios, marinas, medical, legal, architectural, and other such professional offices, and tree farms.
