Land Use and Zoning Laws

We have extensive experience in obtaining all types of municipal permits and approvals, including site plan approvals, special permits, area variances, use variances, subdivision approvals and zoning ordinance interpretations for both small scale individual projects and large scale residential and commercial developments.  

We are also skilled in opposing permit applications on behalf of individual neighbors and organizations of concerned citizens.  We have a track record of success in both initiating and defending Article 78 litigation  proceedings challenging municipal actions and decisions.  

Land use and zoning issues frequently also require our expertise in environmental matters and often relate to real property issues.  Our clients benefit in both efficiency and cost effectiveness  from our ability to offer all of these practice areas in one coordinated team effort.
