Land Use and Environmental Law Committee

The Land Use and Environmental Law Committee is for lawyers whose practice or interest involves zoning and regulatory approvals for all kinds of land development, including subdivisions, site plans, special use permits, zoning restrictions and compliance with other regulations (among them, federal flood zone regulations, landmark and historical designations, and sensitive environmental area designations) that control development and use, and the accompanying environmental review issues. The Committee has a two-fold focus: to serve as a forum for the exchange of knowledge and ideas among lawyers who have a significant practice in the land use/environmental area, and to educate lawyers who do not generally practice in this area about how to discern and address land use and environmental regulations that may impact a client’s transactional goals, valuation, and other issues.

Committee membership is open to members of the Real Property Law Section.
