Development, Land Use and Zoning Issues
Commercial real estate projects involve a significant amount of time and money. Nothing can be more frustrating than a project sitting idle waiting for the red tape to clear. That's why our land use lawyers focus on expedited representation. We focus on a smaller volume of clients and cases to make certain that each project is completed quickly and correctly.
We have experience handling zoning ordinances and regulations from city, county, state and federal authorities. Whether your issue is environmental impact or rezoning to multi-unit properties, our attorneys will advise you in the most efficient ways to move forward. We also provide legal advice prior to making real estate purchases or investments, giving you peace of mind prior to committing capital.
Zoning Laws and Representation
Florida has a variety of wonderful natural resources and real estate opportunities. However, when it comes to development or redevelopment, gaining permission from the city or county to proceed with your project may take time and effort. Our attorneys can help your project clear wetlands permits, dredge and fill, and a number of other zoning and use issues such as:
-
Mixed Use Zoning
Modern property development in Florida involves several elements. Often, these projects contain both commercial and residential space. This is more common in redevelopment projects, but requires careful attention.
-
Commercial Zoning
Conversion of empty or improperly zoned land to a commercial district needs to be done correctly. Whether your property is zoned as commercial-neighborhood, commercial-general, or commercial-intensive, there are a number of requirements and variances that may be necessary to gain approval. We can advise you on what exactly you need to qualify, and how we avoid problems.
-
Residential
Projects which convert single family parcels to multi-family unit require a thorough presentation to receive approval. That's why our attorneys spend extra time ironing out the details and anticipating problems.
