2017See Mann, 282 Ga. at 759 -760 & n. 7 (citing Lingle and presuming “arguendo, that the substanti-ality of the public purpose advanced by a regulation is still pertinent to a takings challenge”).

2017Under a true takings challenge, we recognized, “the focus of the takings analysis is on whether the government act takes property, not on whether the government has a good or bad reason for its action.” Id. (quoting Barros, At Last, Some Clarity: The Potential Long-Term Impact of Lingle v. Chevron and the Separation of Takings and Substantive Due Process, 69 Alb.

2017See Minneapolis Taxi Owners Coalition, Inc. v. City of Minneapolis, 572 F3d 502, 509 (II) (A) (8th Cir. 2009) (“Even if there is a property interest in a particular license, ‘a takings claim cannot be supported by asserting ownership in a property interest that is different and more expansive than the one actually possessed.’ ” (citations omitted)). 3 Taxicabs “have been the subject of frequent and intensive regulation in this state,” and the Act “does not take business property for a public use; it merely requires an already regulated business to adjust its property to the new law.” State v.

Baker, 172 US 269 , 278–79, 297 (1898) (addressing a challenge based on the federal Takings Clause to a “special assessment” levied by the government for the improvement of adjacent land and holding that to the extent the special assessment exceeded the “special benefits accruing to the abutting property,” it was a taking of “private property for public use without compensation”);9 Myles Salt Co. v. Bd. of Comm’rs of Iberia & St.

2021Thus, the Supreme Court of Georgia has held that an inverse condemnation claim is an available remedy from an allegedly improper zoning classification if “the landowner can meet the separate and distinct requirements for such a claim.” Diversified Holdings, LLP, supra, 302 Ga. at 597 .

2008The trial court correctly rejected that assertion, relying on the following holding in Bennis v. Michigan, 516 U. S. 442, 452 (116 SC 994, 134 LE2d 68) (1996): “The government may not be required to compensate an owner for property which it has already lawfully acquired under the exercise of governmental authority other than the power of eminent domain.” Since the forfeiture here was not made under the power of eminent domain and we have upheld the trial court’s ruling that the forfeiture was proper, no Takings Clause issue is presented in this case.

2007However, even assuming, arguendo, that the substantiality of the public purpose advanced by a regulation is still pertinent to a takings challenge, but see Lingle, supra, 544 U.S. at 540 (II)(B), 125 S.Ct. 2074 , [7] we cannot overlook the significant, adverse economic impact of OCGA § 42-1-15 on appellant, the physical ouster that it effects or its elimination of any investment-backed expectations in appellant's residence.

2007Moreover, we must recognize that OCGA § 42-1-15 effectively places the State's police power into the hands of private third parties, enabling them to force a registered sex offender like appellant, under penalty of a minimum ten-year sentence for commission of a felony, to forfeit valuable property rights in his legally-purchased home. [C]ourts must remain mindful that the Takings Clause is intended to prevent the government from "`forcing some people alone to bear public burdens which, in all fairness and justice, should be borne by the public as a whole.'" (Footnotes omitted.) Mann, supra, 2

2003In evaluating the takings claim, we must first determine whether an "`essential nexus' exists between the `legitimate state interest' and the permit condition exacted by the [County]." Dolan v.

"[M]andatory reforestation requirements absent some [specific environmental] supporting documentation raise some significant legal questions under the ... nexus test." 2 Rathkopf's The Law of Zoning and Planning § 20:67(4), p. 20-90 (2002).
