What is Zonelaw?

Zonelaw is the place where global thinkers perform legal engineering in respect of  local codes so as to provide solutions for your zoning issues.  

By predicting the future directions of zoning regulations, Zonelaw helps developers, builders, homeowners and interested citizen groups navigate present day governmental issues. We successfully develop the interface between future housing needs and existing government regulations.  Through a dynamic understanding of local codes, we accommodate the MegaTrends affecting retail and commerce.   

Drawing on our forty plus years of legal experience, we specialize in forecasting the habits of local residents in a changing world, then accommodating that change through code changes in the law.  The legal codes of 2020 need to be based on 2020 lifestyles.  This dynamic approach emphasizes mixed use housing in resilient communities, place making, and an approach for a new suburbia.
