Administrative Site Plan Review: Permitting, Hearing and Litigating Site Plan Applications, Approvals, Conditions and Denials

On June 1, Davis Malm attorney Shawn McCormack presented at the Real Estate Bar Association (REBA) Land Use & Zoning Section the webinar, “Administrative Site Plan Review: Permitting, Hearing and Litigating Site Plan Applications, Approvals, Conditions and Denials.” Judges have called Site Plan Review “the unacknowledged ghost haunting land use law.” The webinar discussed all aspects of the site plan review process and whether it will ever be codified to make it onto the Zoning Act. The program’s panel of lawyers represented a variety of perspectives, including that of a litigator, permitting counsel and a member of a municipal planning board reviewing site plan applications.

For nearly 150 years, REBA’s shared legacy has been advancing the practice of real estate law while upholding and promoting fair dealing, professional networking and collegiality among members of the real estate bar. Today, REBA continues that enduring and proud legacy by creating and sponsoring professional standards, advocating in the legislative process on behalf of its members, mentoring new members of the profession and creating educational programs.
