What We Specialize In
The land entitlement process is a crucial first step in buying and developing land, and it involves getting approval from local authorities for specific development plans. The process can enable or prevent a project from happening, so it's important to work with an experienced Land Developer who can navigate through the many steps. Below is a quick snapshot into what the process looks like.
Step 1: Due Dilligence
This involves reviewing various factors such as zoning laws, environmental conditions, infrastructure availability, and potential legal restrictions. The goal is to identify any issues or obstacles that could impact the project before moving forward.
Step 3: Re-Zone
The rezone step in the entitlement process involves changing the property's zoning designation to allow for a different type of use or development than what is currently permitted. This step is necessary when a developer's plans for the property do not align with its existing zoning regulations.
Step 5: Final Approval
Final approval typically involves submitting detailed construction plans, engineering drawings, and any remaining permits or documents required by the local authorities. The project is reviewed one last time to ensure full compliance with all regulations, zoning laws, and community standards. Once final approval is granted, we can begin construction
Step 2: Acquisition
This involves purchasing the land or obtaining rights to it through agreements like leases or options to buy. It's essential to consider factors such as the property's current zoning, any existing entitlements, and its suitability for the proposed development.
Step 4: Preliminary Approval
During this phase, the project undergoes a thorough review to ensure it meets zoning requirements, land use regulations, and community standards. Preliminary approval signifies that the project is conceptually acceptable and can move forward to more detailed planning and permitting stages
Step 6: Disposition
The disposition step in the entitlement process involves the sale, lease, or transfer of the entitled property to another party, such as an investor, developer, or end-user. After securing all necessary approvals and entitlements, the landowner or developer may choose to sell the property, lease it, or enter into a partnership for further development.
