Common Obstacles Faced Before Obtaining an Entitlement
Zoning & Zoning Variances: Problems with zoning can prevent from developing your property in certain ways and for certain purposes. Zones are assigned specific laws and regulations you will be required to adhere to along with others in the zone. Zoning variances could extend exceptions to specific zoning ordinances in instances where they could be seen as directly unfair to a designated property or property owner.
Permits: Similar to zoning variances, permits can be obtained in exceptional circumstances that will alter the allowed uses of the property at hand.
Rezoning: This is another alternative that can be used in situations where proposed property uses conflict with current zoning and are not addressed through zoning variances. It’s usually a difficult process, but an experienced land development attorney can assist you in completing the rezoning process.
Landscaping Approvals: Landscaping approvals may become necessary to ensure that building design will not be in conflict with the landscape to the extent that it could result in harm to individuals on or near your property.
Road Approvals: When your property development project requires the addition of additional points of access, you will need to complete the process to request road approvals.
Utility Approvals: When necessary, your California land development attorney can assist you in making sure that you have the utilities necessary for your property and the purpose at hand.
