The entitlement process continues to become more complex every day. The number of permits required for the most straight-forward projects continues to grow. The number of permits from federal, state, and local governments can overwhelm the most sophisticated real estate development firm.
The sheer number and complexity of land use permits required today demands a thoughtful, strategic approach to achieving full entitlement for real estate development projects. The sequencing of permitting applications and approvals can make a significant difference in the way projects are received in the marketplace as well as with regulatory agencies. In addition, thoughtful dialogue and project development can avoid or minimize permits from the outset.
In addition, our society now places a very high value on sustainable development practices, such as smart growth, transit oriented development, low impact development, brownfield redevelopment, open space and cluster residential development. Sustainable development practices help secure public and regulatory support. In many cases, sustainable development practices are mandatory. Emphasizing sustainable development practices is an essential strategy in today’s regulatory framework.
