Land Use Planning and Planned Unit Development Subdivisions

My practice of law has specifically focused on the creation of Planned Unit Development subdivisions within the city of Eugene, as well as the creation of new residential legal building lots in Lane County. Recognizing the convergence of establishing conservation areas within development sites has led to the approval of multiple new residential building lots, while protecting sensitive ecological areas.

If you’re working on a project involving Land Use Planning or Planned Unit Development subdivisions within Eugene, my law office can assist you with:

• Planning
• Permitting and development
• Zone changes
• CC&R development, enforcement and modification
