Zoning & Land Development

PA Land Use Planning, Development, And Zoning

Zoning and land use development involves the regulation of real estate construction and use.  Zoning regulations and restrictions are used by municipalities to control and direct the development of property within their borders. Since New York City adopted the first zoning ordinance in 1916, zoning regulations have been adopted by virtually every major urban area in the United States.

At Saling & Litvin, we have decades of experience working with clients regarding land use and land development issues. For example, we can assist you with creating land use plans, negotiating regulatory matters, obtaining land development permits, complying with or obtaining variances to land zoning codes, and structuring land development deals. Throughout the United States, and particularly in Chester County, commercial development entities have had to function in an increasingly volatile environment. Our client referrals are testimonials to our thorough understanding of local zoning boards and similar agencies.  Zoning law enforcement is also the subject of frequent litigation.

Zoning lawyer and partner John A. Saling was a member of the West Chester Borough Zoning Hearing Board from 1977 until 2001.  Among our clients are local buyers and sellers of real property, landlords, investors, developers and investment and property-management companies.  We consult on land use planning throughout Chester County as well as in Delaware, Montgomery and Lancaster Counties.
