REAL ESTATE AND LAND USE LAW

---

We also assist clients through all phases of the entitlement process for development and use of real property. We help both small property owners and large developers navigate the often complex web of land use regulations controlling the use of real property. Working intimately with a client's project team, our attorneys serve as a liaison to staff of the oversight agency to speed project approval, appear before governmental boards and commissions, and coordinate appeals of administrative determinations. We have experience with:

• Design review
• Conditional use applications
• Variances
• Zoning determinations
• CEQA environmental review
• Historic preservation issues
• Special use and historic districts
• Administrative appeals
• Subdivision Map Act
• Subdivided Lands Act
• Lot line adjustments
• Creek and tree protection ordinances
• Exactions and takings
• Community relations
• Land use due diligence prior to purchase or lease of property
