PRACTICE AREAS

Land Use & Development

Unique among land-use and rezoning practices in Northern Virginia, Stewart PLLC’s Land Use and Development practice consists of professionals who have strong backgrounds in local government. This means a unique understanding of the political and policy ramifications of development from the perspective of those making the decisions—which is critical in building the consensus and public support necessary to obtain the approvals you need.

Our Land Use and Development practice encompasses securing project approvals and entitlements, due diligence and site analysis, and post-zoning approvals and permits for all types of development, including residential, commercial and places of worship. Our zoning cases vary in complexity – from drive-throughs to large multi-family developments. Our Land Use and Development practice is focused on the jurisdictions of Prince William, Stafford, Spotsylvania, Culpeper, Fauquier, Manassas, Manassas Park, Winchester, Frederick, and Clarke.
