If your commercial property or subdivision construction is put on hold by a zoning or land use issue, it matters to have counsel who knows the ordinance in question. Your construction project is time-sensitive; contending with government departments rarely is. We work to move the two closer together.

We have represented commercial and large-scale residential zoning matters, including difficult local ordinances, conditional and special use permits, and road and utility easements. Where an ordinance is drafted or applied in a way that blocks a legitimate use, it can be challenged.

Where ordinances create problems

Restrictive local ordinances

Provisions that prohibit or burden a use the parcel is otherwise suited for, sometimes long after the conditions that prompted them have changed.
Conditional & special use permits

Permits granted subject to conditions — and the disputes that follow about what those conditions actually require.
Road & utility easements

Access and service questions that surface in the ordinance rather than in the deed.
