Land Use
Our seasoned land use attorneys represent individuals, developers, businesses, municipalities and municipal authorities in land use planning and development matters including zoning, subdivision, stormwater and wastewater management, and land development entitlement issues and approvals throughout Pennsylvania and Maryland. Navigating the labyrinth of government zoning and land-use ordinances can be very complicated and, unfortunately, has grown increasingly contentious. Working with a local attorney who regularly handles land use matters saves valuable time and resources.
Given that land use issues affect so many aspects of growth and function including where we live, work and congregate, we find that working closely and collaboratively as a team, including with other advisors such as architects and engineers, to achieve the desired result is the best approach. From application through litigation and appeals, we strive to make the process straightforward and transparent. We are aligned with our clients working toward the same goals, to have a project approved and constructed as efficiently as possible. Whether the problem is a minor variance or a major construction project, our experience in working with municipalities across our region enables us to effectively assist clients through complex land use matters.
We often represent businesses and industries with unique needs such as agribusinesses, colleges, hospitals, hotels, non-profit organizations, national distribution centers and self-storage companies, helping them achieve their land use planning and development goals.
We regularly assist clients with all different types of projects including:
- Shopping centers
- Medical buildings/hospitals
- Solar fields
- Multifamily housing
- Large scale residential developments
- Mixed-use developments
- Warehouses/distribution centers
- Wireless telecommunications
- Age restricted housing
