Land Use Law
Land Use Law
Michel & Associates, P.C.’s land use law practice group addresses the complex legal relationship between real property rights and land use restrictions. Our land use practice includes zoning law, noise control, planning and permitting, water and soil conditions, construction and design, Brownfields, coastal development and permitting, CEQA and NEPA compliance and defense, contaminated sites and Superfund (CERCLA), and administrative hearings.
Our land use clients include municipalities, landowners, real estate developers, natural resource management advocacy groups, and others affected by land use issues. We represent clients before planning commissions, city councils, county boards, the California Coastal Commission, and before other local, state, and federal administrative, legislative, and judicial authorities.
Michel & Associates’ attorneys offer comprehensive land use experience. We advise clients on noise complaints from neighboring sites, litigate and counsel on regulatory infractions and enforcement orders, provide guidance on employee training for handling hazardous waste, and assist with corporate formation, insurance, and liability issues related to contaminated or environmentally sensitive properties.
Unique Issues for Shooting Ranges
Our land use attorneys have extensive experience advising shooting range operators on the unique land use issues faced by shooting ranges and clubs. As one of the largest firearms law firms in the country, Michel & Associates leverages its cross-disciplinary experience to benefit range owners and operators.
We advise clients on FFL issues, signage, waivers, range safety rules, and training courses. Our attorneys also provide guidance on regulatory compliance, lead management, noise control, conditional use permits, zoning issues, and range design. We coordinate with consultants and experts in environmental management, range safety, lead reclamation, hazardous materials training, and acoustical engineering to ensure regulatory compliance and minimize liability exposure.
