Details

Ch. 6 – Introduction to Zoning & Basic Land Use Issues


Description

A commonly forgotten or misunderstood aspect of due diligence for many first-time commercial buyers is proper zoning and land use investigation. Very little can be ascertained from review of a title commitment or environmental report, certainly not enough to give the full picture of potential zoning or land use challenges. This session will help the commercial real estate practitioner understand the basics of zoning and land use regulations and provide a roadmap to avoid common pitfalls that can arise from the application of governmental development regulations on existing or new commercial developments or re-developments.
