Brewer Lofgren advises private clients on strategies for revising city and special district boundaries, including spheres of influence and ultimately annexation. Successes include work on the Rancho Cordova incorporation effort on behalf of private property interests, including the successful negotiation of city boundaries, and the Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Folsom and the County of Sacramento that led to the expansion of the city’s sphere of influence and annexation of approximately 3,500 acres.
With depressed real estate values and acquisition of undeveloped property through foreclosure or short sales, Brewer Lofgren has assisted new owners renegotiate conditions of approval to create economically feasible projects.
