Zoning Regulation and Amendments

HMA has years of experience and acquired expertise in amending, updating, and revising community zoning and land use regulations. The firm’s project experience ranges from updating a specific section of the regulations to an entire overhaul of the zoning code. In many cases, HMA’s services are retained by client communities to assist them with establishing consistency between their recently updated Plan of Conservation and Development and their zoning regulations. HMA’s comprehensive approach features graphic illustrations of zoning concepts within the regulations themselves.

In addition, HMA serve private clients who may be seeking a zoning amendment for a specific property. HMA establishes a close working relationship with the client to assess their particular needs while studying the market and development climate. HMA assists the client through the zone amendment application process and in many cases provides background planning assistance relative to drafting text for the proposed zone amendment.
