Land Use

California Land Use

Land use and zoning is the regulation of the use and development of public and private real estate. California land use law covers the appropriate and legal uses of land, often a family or business owner’s single most valuable asset. Land use is governed by a number of different areas of law. It covers permits, variances, zoning, compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), planning, and more. When faced with a legal issue concerning the use of land, property owners can turn to the skilled and dedicated California land use law attorneys at Peterson Law Group.

Comprehensive Legal Knowledge

Our attorneys have a solid and thorough understanding of land use law and can help property owners address issues such as the following:

• Zoning, Variances, And Permits: Local land use laws often dictate that land in a particular area can only be used for certain purposes or contain certain types or numbers of structures. Our land use lawyers can help landowners identify applicable zoning and permit regulations, apply for the necessary permits, and seek the permission of regulatory boards, planning commissions, city councils, and other agencies or boards when a variance is needed. At Peterson Law Group, we will also work with qualified land use consultants and local planning departments to ensure all requirements are met.
• CEQA Compliance: The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) requires state and local agencies to identify and assess the significant environmental impacts of proposed projects. The lawyers at Peterson Law Group help property owners navigate the requirements of CEQA to ensure compliance with California’s environmental policies.
