Religious land use attorney and author Daniel P. Dalton explains the options available to religious entities after the planning commission has denied a zoning request. This includes reviewing the zoning code to determine whether the planning commission decision is final, the appeals process and possible federal litigation. Dalton’s clients include churches, mosques, synagogues, temples and other religious organizations across the country who have experienced zoning request denials and other land use issues. He is the nation’s preeminent expert on RLUIPA, the Religious Land Use & Institutionalized Persons Act.
