Land Use & Zoning Litigation

Land use and zoning litigation is an area of law that involves disputes over how land is used and developed. This can include disagreements between property owners, developers, government agencies, and other interested parties over issues such as zoning regulations, building permits, land use restrictions, and environmental regulations.

I specialize in representing clients in land use and zoning litigation cases, particularly those involving Florida Statutes Chapter 163. This chapter of the Florida Statutes sets out the state’s comprehensive planning and growth management system, which establishes policies and procedures for local governments to plan for and manage growth and development.

Litigating cases involving Florida Statutes Chapter 163 can be complex, as it requires a deep understanding of the state’s land use and zoning laws and the various planning and regulatory processes involved. It can also involve dealing with a range of government agencies and officials, including local planning boards, zoning commissions, and city councils.

Some common issues that can arise in land use and zoning litigation cases involving Chapter 163 include disputes over:

  • Zoning changes: Property owners and developers may seek to rezone land for different uses, which can sometimes be opposed by neighboring property owners or community groups.

  • Development permits: Developers may need to obtain various permits and approvals from government agencies in order to build on their land, which can sometimes be denied or delayed.

  • Environmental regulations: Development plans may need to comply with various environmental regulations, such as wetland preservation or endangered species protection, which can sometimes be contested.

  • Comprehensive planning: Local governments are required to create comprehensive plans for their jurisdictions, which can be challenged if they do not comply with the requirements of Chapter 163 or other state laws.

I work closely with my clients to understand their specific goals and concerns, and I provide them with personalized legal guidance and representation throughout the litigation process. Whether negotiating with government agencies, advocating for clients in administrative hearings, or litigating in court, I strive to achieve the best possible outcomes for my clients in their land use and zoning disputes.
