Item 1

 
reduction in value caused by the regulation.__The property owner
may elect to have the issue of compensation decided by a jury.

 
3.__Exemption for regulation of noxious or harmful uses.__
Purchase or compensation is not required under this Act if the
regulation is an exercise of the police power to prevent
property use that is noxious or poses demonstrable harm to the
health and safety of the public.__A use is considered a
noxious use only if it amounts to a public nuisance in fact.__
Determination by the State that a use is noxious or poses a
demonstrable harm to public health and safety is not binding
on the court.__Review of that determination must be de novo.

 
§844.__Statute of limitations

 
The statute of limitations for actions brought pursuant to
this Act is the statute of limitations for civil actions for
injuries to real property.__The statute of limitations begins
to run when a final administrative decision is issued
affecting that property, except that, if passage of the
regulation alone reduces the fair market value of real
property by at least 25% of its preregulatory fair market
value without further governmental action and the regulation
contains no provision for relief from the regulation's
operation, the statute of limitations begins to run on the
date the regulation becomes effective.

 
§845.__Waiver as condition to approval prohibited

 
The State may not make waiver of the provisions of this Act
a condition for approval of the use of real property or the
issuance of any permit.__An owner may accept an approval of
use or a permit granted by the State without compromising
rights under this Act if:

 
1.__Rights in writing.__The owner reserves the rights in
writing at the time of acceptance of an authorization or
permit; or

 
2.__Oral statement.__The owner makes an oral statement
reserving the rights before the State at a public meeting at
which the State renders its decision.

 
§846.__Legal challenges

 
This Act does not preclude an owner from challenging a
regulation affected by this Act under any other law or
constitutional provision.

 
§847.__Review of laws and rules
