Land Use and Zoning
Advocacy before the boards and commissions that shape development.
Overview
The firm's Land Use and Zoning practice serves developers, property owners, and other interested parties who seek government approval for, or opposition to, many kinds of property use proposals. The attorneys have helped clients secure approval for attractive, economically sound development projects in the community. When warranted, they have also opposed plans that would harm nearby established properties and neighborhoods.
The practice team knows local zoning ordinances and regulations well and uses that knowledge to support stable development while resisting poorly conceived planning. The attorneys work closely with government planners and decision-makers and advocate for client petitions before public boards, councils, and commissions.
The firm's civic involvement strengthens this practice. Its attorneys take part in community activities at every level, giving them the knowledge and relationships needed to help clients pursue well-planned growth in the urban environment.
