Zoning & Land Use

Overview

From Annexation to Zoning and everything in between, Foster Swift attorneys have the knowledge and experience to effectively and efficiently advise clients in community, administrative and courtroom settings to achieve a successful outcome.  Through the years, municipalities and individuals have retained Foster Swift to provide counsel on a wide array of zoning and land use matters, including:  

  • Drafting and review of master plans, zoning ordinances and amendments, wetlands regulations; growth management measures; land division ordinances; subdivision regulations; and site condominium ordinances. 
  • Providing counsel regarding compliance with all local, state, and federal laws and regulations applicable to municipalities.
  • Overseeing board, planning and ZBA meetings including counsel on Open Meetings and Freedom of Information Act issues.
  • Addressing annexation, condemnation and eminent domain matters.

We also work closely with our clients to review specific proposed land developments, especially where the possibility of litigation is more likely.  We have extensive experience in the litigation of land use disputes at both the trial and appellate court levels, many of which have been published.
