“Everything is negotiable. Whether or not the negotiation is easy is another thing.”
Carrie Fisher

These rules are often complicated and nuanced. Negotiating a new zoning designation becomes more attainable with the help of a seasoned and proficient real estate zoning attorney.
The bottom line is the bottom line when it comes to zoning. The very purpose of zoning is to protect or increase property values.
