Welcome!

My name is John Stellakis and I'm a Land Use and Zoning attorney on Long Island. I am also an Adjunct Professor of Legal Process at a local law school. I created this blog site to offer insights into land use practice. Whether you're completely unfamiliar with zoning codes or you're a sophisticated development firm, I hope these posts help you to better understand the lay of the land (pun intended) and what to expect when navigating the complicated world of land use.
