Land Use And Zoning Law
Land use and development is a highly regulated and complex field that requires an intimate knowledge of both the law and the governmental and political framework that is necessary for effective legal representation. Carney, Kelehan, Bresler, Bennett & Scherr has grown, developed and adapted to continue to provide aggressive representation to correspond with the ever-changing and publicly- and politically-charged field of zoning and land use regulations.
CarneyKelehan has represented clients in matters before planning boards and commissions, hearing examiners and zoning boards in Howard County, Baltimore County, Baltimore City, Carroll County and Anne Arundel County. CarneyKelehan represents clients in matters before all government agencies that have a role in land use and development in these jurisdictions and before the state of Maryland agencies.
CarneyKelehan’s experience at navigating the often complicated and exceedingly interpretive land use laws and regulations gives our clients an advantage in achieving their land use goals. In addition to dealing with regulatory and compliance issues, our attorneys are veteran practitioners in matters related to land use and development before all Maryland state courts, up to and including the Court of Appeals.
