Land Use Planning & Entitlement

Rural and developing property sits under overlapping layers of county, state, and sometimes federal rules. I help owners and developers plan a realistic path and coordinate the approvals to get there.

What I provide

• Feasibility and site analysis
• Zoning, subdivision, and conditional use support
• Coordination with county planning and building departments
• Agency coordination where state or federal review applies
• Development and site plans that support your application

When you need it

• Buying land and want to know what's actually possible
• Subdividing or rezoning a parcel — septic feasibility (see Septic System Design) often applies here too
• Navigating a conditional use permit or variance
• Coordinating multiple agencies on one project

A practical, local read

The fastest way to stall a project is to design it before you understand what the jurisdiction will approve. I start with the rules that govern your parcel, then plan the work around them.
