Land use and zoning involves changing the zoning of land for higher and better uses, as well as obtaining approvals for uses on zoned property which require additional permits or variances to operate. Our Charlotte, North Carolina real estate lawyers represent homeowners, neighborhoods and businesses in the area of residential and commercial development that need legal advice and representation with the following transactions:

• Representation during the rezoning process
• Mixed-use, multi-use, and transit-oriented developments 
• Land use and zoning litigation 
• Deed restrictions
• Boundary disputes
• Zoning interpretations, zoning variances, and subdivision regulations 
• Vesting of zoning and similar land use issues 
• Building Permit ordinances 
• Transportation and transit issues 
• Neighborhood issues
• Deed restriction and zoning compliance

Our firm handles real estate matters involving re-zonings and code regulations. Re-zonings involve applying to change the zoning classification of land to allow different density and/or uses than permitted by right under the existing classification.  In certain cases, a proposed use or structure does not fall neatly within the Code or regulations, and an interpretation of the use and whether it is permitted by right or by special use permit must be obtained by the proper authorities.  Our philosophy is to help landowners and neighborhoods make the most appropriate and beneficial use of land.
