Land Use and Zoning Law
Planning,
zoning, land use, site planning and permitting are all facets
of Land Use & Zoning Law used as guidelines in development
projects. Experienced Coover & Barr, LLC attorneys provide clients
guidance in the area of land planning for development and
re-development, in accordance with local zoning ordinances and
by-laws.
Zoning ordinances and regulations are laws
that define and restrict how you can use your property.
Cities, counties, townships and other local governments adopt
zoning plans in order to set development standards to assure
that land is used for the common good.
One goal of zoning is to separate property into
zoning districts (residential, commercial, industrial, etc).
For example, if a district is zoned for residential use, no
businesses will be permitted to open there.
Land use issues are at the center of many
development projects, both large and small. Whether these
issues concern zoning variances, conditional use permits,
condemnation proceedings, dedications or subdivision maps,
businesses and individuals need a law firm that understands
the governmental process and excels at representing project
developers at local government levels and in land use
litigation.
