Land Use

Land Use Practice

We help guide clients through the land use permitting process, from examining whether a particular development proposal or use is permitted under applicable zoning regulations, determining the type of zoning and inland wetlands permitting that is required, and identifying the applicable regulatory standards.  We have experience assembling and coordinating multi-disciplinary teams, navigating through the application and hearing process, handling contested applications, and defending court appeals challenging zoning approvals.  Our team of experienced land use attorneys have handled hundreds of local, state and federal applications of all types including, for example, zone changes, special permits, special exceptions, planned developments, site plan review, variances, subdivisions and inland wetlands permitting.

We pride ourselves on handling land use matters in a practical and cost-effective manner.
