How did the Dolan v. City of Tigard case influence the laws restricting people's use of their property?

What will be an ideal response?

In Dolan v. City of Tigard, the Court clarified and toughened its requirement that government planners produce specific justifications when they condition building permits on a party's rendering a portion of the property for public use. Plaintiff Dolan sought a permit from defendant City of Tigard to expand her store and pave her parking lot. The city conditioned the grant of her permit on her dedication of a portion of her property for a public greenway to minimize flooding that would otherwise be likely to result from her construction and a pedestrian/bicycle pathway to decrease congestion in the business district. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the city had to show some evidence that the expansion of the permit would cause the problems that would be fixed by the new regulations, as well as that the regulations would fix those problems. Simply stating that a larger store could cause more congestion and that a bicycle path could help clear up that congestion was not enough.
