Winston-Salem, Forsyth County Land Use and Zoning Attorney

When your business or neighborhood organization needs legal assistance with a zoning or land use litigation matter, contact the law office of Paul C. Shepard. I know that increased complexities in Forsyth County zoning law can sometimes lead to discord between parties who envision different uses for their neighborhoods. To take action, I appear before the Zoning Boards of Adjustment, City Councils, Boards of County Commissioners, and Planning Boards, advocating zealously for clients. I frequently take action in matters related to land use litigation, zoning ordinance interpretation, and zoning-related decisions like variances, waivers, housing inspections, and housing codes.

Experienced Lawyer Who Knows Zoning and Land Use Litigation Matters

In Winston-Salem, Forsyth County, and other zoning jurisdictions within Forsyth County, a Unified Development Ordinance controls zoning law. I am very familiar with its provisions because I was the Chairman of the Citizens Steering Committee appointed by the City-County Planning Board to develop the ordinance. I am also a former member of the City-County Planning Board and have had over 30 years experience in representing both proponents and opponents of zoning petitions before the Planning Board and governing body, as well as in various hearings conducted by the Boards of Adjustment in Forsyth County.
