Product Description

The law of zoning variances in Massachusetts arose from the need for flexibility in zoning plans to allow municipalities to avoid unnecessary interference with private property rights and unconstitutional “takings” of land rendered useless by uniform application of zoning requirements.

Understand the statutory requirements for obtaining a variance and how to successfully challenge and/or defend variance decisions.
