City Planning & Land Use: Building Chicago's Future

Developing property or expanding your business in Chicago involves navigating complex city planning and land use regulations. These laws shape how land is used and developed. Understanding them is crucial for any successful project. Our team at CGG Law Partners guides businesses through these intricate processes. We ensure your development goals align with local ordinances.

Understanding Zoning & Variances

Zoning ordinances dictate how specific areas of land can be used. They control everything from building height to permitted business types. Sometimes, your project might not fit existing zoning rules. In such cases, you may need a zoning variance or a special use permit. Our attorneys help you understand these regulations. We also represent your interests before local zoning boards. This helps secure the necessary approvals for your project.

Permitting & Development Approvals

Every construction or renovation project requires various permits and approvals. Obtaining these can be a lengthy and challenging process. Our firm streamlines this for you. We assist with preparing and filing applications. We also represent you in discussions with city departments. This ensures all necessary permits are acquired efficiently. Therefore, your project can move forward without unnecessary delays.
