Our Expertise in Land Use Planning

1. Use and Bulk Variances

Many development projects require exceptions to existing zoning regulations to accommodate unique site conditions or intended uses. We focus on securing:

Use variances for projects that do not conform to permitted zoning uses.
Bulk variances for deviations from dimensional requirements such as setbacks, building height, and lot coverage.
Presentation and representation before planning and zoning boards to advocate for project approvals.

2. Re-Zoning and Zone Overlays

Zoning laws evolve to meet changing community and economic needs. We focus on securing:

Re-zoning petitions to change the permitted uses or density of a property.
Zone overlays that introduce special regulations tailored to specific development goals.
Negotiations with municipal planning authorities to align zoning adjustments with long-term land use strategies.

3. Subdivisions

Whether we are subdividing land for residential, commercial, or mixed-use development, our team ensures a smooth approval process by providing:

Feasibility analysis to determine the best subdivision approach.
Preparation of applications and supporting documents for municipal review.
