Zoning is a land-use regulation that local governments pass to determine how land will be used. They get to decide what is allowed or not allowed and how buildings should be constructed.

If you are a developer and need the zoning of your land modified, or an non-compliance issue has occurred, this usually has to go through a zoning committee. A zoning committee, often part of a planning commission or a separate zoning board, is comprised of individuals who feel very strongly about how the city should look. He or she doesn’t always have the required expertise, as it is an appointed position. A zoning committee has 100% say on the outcomes, and there is very little recourse if you fail to persuade them.

Through years of hard work and communication, we have the expertise and patience needed to maximize the chance of a favorable outcome for you. We have a deep understanding of each municipality and will work with all of the board members. We have vast networks of experts who can provide strategic advice on how to navigate the zoning process, maximize the value of property, and achieve development goals while complying with local regulations. We can help property owners understand their obligations under zoning laws and represent them in cases where there are allegations of non-compliance or enforcement actions by the municipality. If there are disputes or legal challenges related to zoning decisions, we can represent you in negotiations, administrative hearings, or court proceedings.
