After first starting his career as a tax attorney, Mr. Weiner turned to the specialty of tax planning for real estate developers.

By 1977 he was an investor in the Cedar Lee Theater in Cleveland which consisted of the successful renovation of a dilapidated 1920′s theater. This was a springboard to specializing in real estate work to which Mr. Weiner devotes his full professional time.

Florida law , which affects Delray Zoning, allows zoning boards and agencies to implement zoning regulations in accordance to a comprehensive plan. These plans are designed to provide a description of the local guidelines, goals, principals, and standards the community wants to implement to maintain economic, social, physical and environmental development. These comprehensive plans must be created and changed through the local panning agency, which must hold public hearings on the plan to allow the public a chance to have input.
