Developments of Regional Impact (DRI) Regulation
If a development in Florida will be of such a size as to impact resources on a regional basis, the development is required to undergo review as a DRI, in addition all other regulations generally applicable to development activities. Our attorneys can assist in all aspects of DRI regulation, including negotiating the terms and conditions of the DRI development order and handling hearings before the regional planning council and local governments. With our wealth of administrative law and appellate practice experience, Dempsey & Associates is well-situated to handle administrative appeals of DRI development orders.
Public and Private Eminent Domain Concerns
Our firm also assists clients with eminent domain takings for public and private purposes. Working with highly qualified and experienced consultants (whose fees, as well as legal fees, are paid by the condemning agency or company), your property will be evaluated at its highest and best use before the taking, which can include future changes in use and zoning. This value is compared to the value after the taking to determine the damages to be paid to you, including compensation for damage to the remaining property. Our aim is to ensure that you receive the full measure of compensation the law allows.
