Land Use & Zoning

We are increasingly called upon to review controversies regarding “fringe areas;” such as the property in question here — residential property bordering commercial property, with the economic value of the property for residential use lessening with encroaching commercial development. We take this opportunity to reiterate that “the local governing body is the more appropriate one to shape and control the local environment according to the best interests of the locality and its citizens.” 

Denmark Ashby Attorneys is one of the preeminent zoning law firms in the state, handling the legal details for several Developments of Regional Impact (DRI’s) involving hundreds of millions of dollars of residential and commercial development, in addition to the first Tax Allocation District (TAD) in Clayton County. 

Denmark Ashby Attorneys has been responsible for drafting and enforcing numerous zoning codes and ordinances and all the attendant related regulatory adjuncts.
