Land Use Planning and Zoning

Chaired by Joseph L. Basralian, and including partners Bruce Rosenberg and Christopher Minks, our land use attorneys regularly appear before local and County zoning and planning boards, and other governing bodies and authorities on behalf of landowners and developers. We have represented major regional shopping centers, department stores, office buildings, multiple family residences, and health care facilities in contested zoning and land use matters with great success. We actively and aggressively litigate real estate and land use issues in the trial and appellate courts. The breadth of our experience in development and land use law and regulation enables us to better complete this very sensitive and critical component to real property ownership and development effectively and expeditiously. Our support staff are equally experienced in adhering to the time sensitive nature of the preparation, compiling and filing of applications, and the firm enjoys strong relationships with a large library of engineering, architectural, zoning and planning professionals that enables us to promptly evaluate any given case, formulate a strategy, employ the most appropriate witnesses, and present the strongest possible case. Many municipalities throughout the State of New Jersey are familiar with Winne Banta, and our land use attorneys, which familiarity only enhances our ability to effectively present and prosecute an application.
