The program addressed the roles of L&I and the ZBA in the zoning approval process; due diligence and information gathering in a zoning case; preparation and filing of a zoning application; preparation of exhibits and witness for a zoning hearing, presentation of a zoning hearing; and post-hearing and appellate procedure. Approximately 70 people attended this successful presentation, including attorneys from solo, mid-size, and large firms.
