Our Land Use and Zoning Services
Serving local communities since 1929, our law firm provides comprehensive, personal assistance to individuals, developers, and businesses in matters related to land use, zoning, and development in New Providence and Union County. Our services include, among others:
Minor and Major Subdivisions
Developing land for residential or commercial purposes often requires subdividing property into smaller lots. We assist clients with both minor and major subdivision applications for the development of single-family and multi-family housing. Our team will guide you through the local and state regulations and ensure your plans align with local, county and state land use ordinances.
Site Plan Applications
Preparing a site plan is a critical part of the development process, and we are well-versed in drafting site plans for a range of purposes. Whether your project involves commercial, residential, or industrial uses, we can help you develop site plans with or without the need for variances. Our firm works closely with municipal planning and zoning boards to advocate for your project, ensuring that your plans meet all necessary requirements while optimizing your chances for approval.
Wetlands and Flood Hazard Area Permitting
Development in New Jersey often requires careful consideration of environmental regulations, particularly when dealing with wetlands or flood hazard areas. We assist clients in obtaining the necessary permits and work to minimize potential obstacles related to environmental protection laws. Our understanding of these sensitive areas ensures that your project is compliant with the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) regulations.
Affordable Housing Compliance
New Jersey has stringent laws governing affordable housing requirements, which can impact land use and development plans.
