STEVE C. MORASCH

For more than 20 years, Steve Morasch has represented developers and landowners in the land use permitting process in Oregon and Washington. He has experience in all aspects of land use planning in both states, including transportation planning and growth management, and environmental issues such as floodplains, stormwater, geotechnical issues, wetlands, riparian habitat, the Endangered Species Act, and SEPA. 

Steve engages a multi-disciplinary approach to land use, working with planning consultants, civil engineers, traffic engineers, geotechnical engineers, architects, landscape architects, surveyors, archeologists, and biologists to strategize solutions and manage client projects from start to finish. He has also negotiated numerous development agreements covering a wide variety of issues including project vesting, transportation mitigation, impact fees, and SDC credits. 

During his career, Steve has appeared at hundreds of land use hearings before hearing officers, planning commissions, city councils, boards of county commissioners, the Oregon Land Use Board of Appeals, and the trial and appellate courts in both Oregon and Washington.
