Collier Marsh wrote an article for Construction Executive on the best ways to avoid rezoning disputes. 

"Construction companies and developers are accelerating projects in the Southeast and throughout the country as the economy rebounds from the worst of the COVID-19 pandemic," he wrote. "Whether they are building commercial, industrial or residential projects, these developments often require rezoning to maximize an investment. But rezoning disputes can add significant delays and costs to a project and can even defeat the project altogether."

"There are proactive steps construction companies can take to avoid disputes as they are working to secure rezoning approval, as well after the rezoning is complete," he continued. "During the initial rezoning process, before a final municipal decision, one of the best practices is to anticipate opposition and address it head-on. As for post-approval disputes, those often come down to how carefully a company followed the local procedures and, where applicable, the local evidentiary requirements."
