Land Planning and Entitlement Processing
Planning is a creative dynamic process whose goal is to develop develop innovative solutions to complex problems found in unique settings. Memorable communities all reflect an adherence to an innovative, coherent and consistent vision of what a community should be and an understanding of how physical design can reinforce the sense of community within a new town or village. Often the genesis of a successful plan focuses on the formulation of a “big idea” or concept that embodies what is truly unique about the project environs. The goal of the “big idea” then needs to be realized through the execution of specific details in the project. These details comprise what becomes attractive and memorable to whoever interacts with the community. Land planning and entitlement processing services include the following:
