Zoning and Environmental Issues

Zoning and environmental issues are important and complex issues that property owners, developers, professionals and businesses must face. Matters such as code violations, zoning amendments, variances, and special use permits that directly impact your planning and budget. I can handle these difficult matters with experience and diligence.

Land Use

Planning or expanding a home or business requires that the construction complies with local, county, state, and federal land use restrictions, and building, safety and health codes. New construction and many remodeling projects must go through a permitting process before they can commence. I thoroughly research each municipality’s code and will meet with its planner to facilitate the mitigation of issues which might slow down your timeline.
