Our Services

Affordable Housing

We monitor implementation of your jurisdiction’s policies and programs that support affordable housing, including rent monitoring, ownership programs, and CDBG, HOME, and HUD administration. We also create and update Consolidated Action Plans, Citizen Participation Plans, Annual Action Plans, and Consolidated Annual Performance Reports (CAPERs).

Regional Planning

We encourage local jurisdictions to actively participate in regional and Metropolitan Planning Organization meetings and activities. MPO documents and activities are often the predecessors to RHNA and Housing Element requirements. We review, analyze, and comment on MPO data on behalf of local jurisdictions with each jurisdiction’s unique perspective at the forefront.

Development Services

We efficiently assist you during the development process including entitlements, environmental analysis and compliance, and construction permits to ensure timely project delivery.

Coastal Planning

We understand the unique context of Coastal Zone communities and associated requirements of the California Coastal Act. We work with Coastal Commission Staff to ensure a positive outcome for clients, their community, and the Coastal Commission.

Our experience includes residential, commercial, industrial, and medical campuses. These plans ensure your site is properly graded and provides wet utility connections to your site, including water, sewer, and storm drain.
