Land Use Planning
Colliers Engineering & Design’s Planning Professionals provide expert land use planning services for private sector clients and have extensive experience with a variety of projects, from small to large-scale, residential to commercial development, and rural to urban design.
Our professionals are experienced in providing expert planning testimony before municipal planning and zoning boards for the purpose of obtaining subdivision and site plan approvals or variance relief, including Use Variances. Our planners are thoroughly versed in the requirements of State Land Use Law, which enables them to prepare and present convincing testimony to support the grant of variances or requests for rezoning. Our planners have also represented private sector clients in Builder Remedy lawsuits and in eminent domain litigation.
