A Well-Rounded Approach to Planning and Zoning Board Representation
Our firm currently represents over a dozen planning and zoning boards in the Hudson Valley region. We assist municipal boards with all legal matters relevant to their land use and zoning functions, including the following.
- Review procedures: It is important for any planning or zoning board in New York to establish a clear set of review procedures in compliance with state law.
- Zoning and subdivision applications: Our attorneys have the experience to advise planning and zoning boards on issues that arise with respect to specific applications.
- Article 78 proceedings: If any party wishes to dispute the decisions of your planning and zoning board, its appeal will be governed by New York's Article 78 provisions. Our attorneys have extensive experience commencing and defending such proceedings.
Because we also represent land developers, property owners and citizen groups in land use and zoning proceedings, we have the well-rounded experience to effectively counsel municipal boards on the practical and legal implications of their decisions.
If your municipal board needs quality legal advice and representation so it can effectively fulfill its functions, we encourage you to contact us to discuss how we can help.
