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.

Zoning laws categorize land use. They specify what types of buildings can be constructed. These laws also regulate how property can be used within different areas.
You need a zoning variance when your proposed project does not meet the standard zoning requirements. This allows you to seek an exception to the existing rules.
The time frame for obtaining a building permit varies greatly. It depends on the project's complexity and the completeness of your application. Simple permits may be issued quickly, while large-scale developments can take many months.
