Land Use & Zoning

Our Firm has extensive expertise in land use and zoning law. Our attorneys have represented both public and private clients on matters involving Florida local governmental law, growth management, concurrency management, governmental procurement, real estate and transportation. Additionally, the Firm has represented clients in a vast array of matters ranging from municipal special exceptions, variances, rezonings and comprehensive land use plan amendments to the approval of large scale projects, including those designated as Florida Developments of Regional Impact ("DRIs"). The firm has obtained numerous approvals for DRIs, modifications to DRIs, vested rights for DRI-size developments, and non-DRI status "binding letters."

In a case of first impression in the State of Florida, we recently secured the right on behalf of a major real estate developer to construct recreational boat docking facilities for a large scale condominium project which was one of the first approvals of its kind in the State.

The clients who have successfully utilized the services of our land use and zoning department include property owners, real estate developers, financial institutions and national corporations.
