lslazarus@lazaruslaw.com
Mr. Lazarus has lived and worked in the Phoenix metropolitan area for over 30 years, during which time he has earned the reputation of being one of Arizona’s most talented and well-respected land use attorneys. His success is due, not only to his promotion of sound land use principles and good public policy, but to the basic respect he shows to people from all walks of life.
In 1979 he was chairman of the Urban Form Directions for the City of Phoenix and was significantly responsible for establishing the Village Concept Plan – the most comprehensive set of land use policies of its kind in the state at that time and even today – promoting the ability of people from diverse backgrounds to live, work and play in our city. Mr. Lazarus has been a driving force in appropriate, well-planned development, from high-rise office buildings to planned residential developments, from light industrial buildings to community centers, resorts, golf courses and other recreational facilities, from downtown high-rise luxury condominiums to downtown affordable work-force housing, from urban infill redevelopment to development of Native American community properties and the Phoenix Campus of Care.
He is a member of the Anti-Defamation League, Greater Phoenix Economic Council, Greater Phoenix Leadership, Phoenix Community Alliance, Phoenix Environmental Awards Committee for Valley Forward, the American Planning Association and the Urban Land Institute. He was Chairman of the Board of Directors for Samaritan Health Systems and is currently a member of the Board of Directors and Executive Committee for Banner Health Systems. He is past chairman of the following organizations: Phoenix Board of Adjustment, Valley Forward Association, Arizona State University College of Architecture Council for Design Excellence, and The Anti-Defamation League State of Arizona as well as the Southwest Region. He was a founder of the Frank Lloyd Wright Society.
