Smart developers know the value of a good due diligence effort, which should only be done by local experts who know where the bodies are buried inside the city’s zoning and permit records department. Yet for some reason, reckless developers are relying on out-of-state PZRs (Planning & Zoning Reports) as their sole resource for proper due diligence. In this episode we discuss why local knowledge is best when researching a site and identifying unforeseen landmines that are not captured by PZRs

If the General Plan were viewed as an atlas map, and a zoning map like a street map, then zoning attorneys would be Google Maps. In this episode we provide critical guidance on how to navigate General Plan amendments, key filing deadlines, and potholes to avoid during that process.

The city planning department is more than just an episode of Parks and Recreation (but we sure would love to see Leslie Knope at the Planning Commission). As the Director of the fifth largest city in America, running the City of Phoenix Planning and Development Department is a daily sprint. Not far away, Scottsdale’s planning director confronts the daily struggle of old time Scottsdale and new day investment.

Watching the Fiesta Bowl on TV in January 1974 changed Nate Nathan’s life. Seeing the sunshine and tanned coeds in Arizona while he shivered in Chicago brought him west and he never looked back. More than 40 years later, nobody is more involved in land deals, transactions and developments across Arizona than the legend himself – Nate Nathan. Join us as we hear Nate’s background story, why “no” is unacceptable, and how great zoning counsel is key to entitlement success.

Tribal politics is so 2020, yet we’ve been dealing with politics and land use since the Xerox machine. Zoning is at the intersection of politics and land use, and as a result, predictability is thrown out the window and uncertainty remains supreme. Listen as we discuss how politics and land use work together (and against each other) as we talk about the infamous Trump Tower zoning case from 2004, when The Donald was just The Apprentice!

In this episode we dissect “The Yard at 7th Street, '' a case study on land use entitlements that includes variances, use permits, abandonments, signage, zoning interpretations and more. You’ll learn why its success is a model on how infill and adaptive use projects are cheered by the city and jeered by the neighbors. Listen to find out what can be
