Attorney (Member)
Fahey Schultz Burzych Rhodes, Michigan
Kyle O’Meara is a Member at Fahey Schultz Burzych Rhodes PLC and an attorney in the firm’s Municipal Group, where he focuses on zoning, land use, and municipal law. He advises local governments throughout Michigan on complex land use matters, including renewable energy development, ordinance drafting, and application review for large-scale projects that require careful coordination between legal standards, planning considerations, and community impact.
Kyle has developed significant experience in the siting and regulation of utility-scale solar, wind, and battery storage projects, where extreme weather, infrastructure demands, and evolving state policy create additional layers of complexity for planning commissions and elected officials. His work often involves helping municipalities evaluate proposed projects, structure legally sound review processes, and adopt zoning frameworks that balance resiliency, public safety, and long-term land use goals.
In addition to his legal practice, Kyle regularly presents to planners, zoning officials, and municipal leaders on renewable energy land use and defensible decision-making, with a focus on practical strategies that can be implemented in real-world public meetings, hearings, and project approvals.
