Corey guides applicants such as hospitals, skilled-nursing facilities, religious institutions and other not-for-profit organizations, wireless-telecommunication carriers and related infrastructure companies, and commercial, hotel, and residential developers through the zoning, planning, and land-use-entitlement process. He also consults with municipalities as special counsel on a variety of legal matters.
Corey appears before municipal land use, zoning, and environmental permitting agencies at every level of government and assists clients with all aspects of the land use permitting and regulatory compliance process, including rezoning, zone text, and comprehensive-plan amendments; special and temporary use permits; use and area variances; zoning interpretation appeals; wetland, stormwater, and highway work permits; endangered species; the NYS Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA); and the Telecommunications Act of 1996 and related orders.
Corey has also handled land use, SEQRA, and municipal litigation before the Supreme Court, the Appellate Division, and the Court of Appeals.
A natural outgrowth of Corey’s zoning practice involves the formation and representation of condominium and homeowner associations, including preparing and filing offering-plans and amendments with the NYS Attorney General’s Office.
