Land Use and Zoning

Land use and zoning primarily deals with the process of modifying existing zoning and land use in order to build, improve or use real property. SSHW lawyers have extensive expertise in preparing, submitting and advocating various land use applications. We have spent many years working with the staff and leaders of local governments and planning commissions. We are deeply integrated into various aspects of the community. Our attorneys assess the big picture view of the application and develop strategies that best serve our clients and the community. We advocate for our client's interests beyond the process while providing services such as the development of agreements, negotiation of contracts, and document preparation. Our experience and relationships enable us to efficiently guide and shepherd land use applications to their optimal outcome.
