Fiscally-Informed Planning
We help communities make planning decisions that are not only sustainable but also financially responsible. Our approach integrates land use planning, infrastructure investment, and resource allocation to ensure long-term economic stability. By aligning growth strategies with fiscal realities, we guide municipalities in making smart, cost-effective choices that enhance community resilience, promote economic vitality, and support balanced, incremental development.
Comprehensive Plans
A vision for the future starts with a clear understanding of today. We help communities craft comprehensive plans that align long-term aspirations with financial realities. By integrating a Land Use Fiscal Analysis (LUFA), we provide a data-driven foundation that connects land use, infrastructure, and budgeting—ensuring your strategy is both inspiring and executable. With deep experience inside and outside of city hall, we create plans that don’t just sit on a shelf—they’re built for action from day one.
Special Area Plans
Big impact starts with focused, actionable plans. We create detailed, fiscally-informed strategies for neighborhoods, corridors, and downtown areas that are designed to make an immediate difference. Our plans go beyond visual renderings and lofty ideals—they prioritize realistic actions that can be implemented right away, requiring only modest resources. With a foundation in fiscal sustainability, we ensure that every plan is not just visionary, but executable and aligned with your community’s long-term financial goals.
Implementation Tracking
A plan is only as good as its follow-through. We help communities track progress toward their goals with clear, actionable metrics that keep leaders and residents informed. Our approach goes beyond generic performance tracking—we focus on the financial and development indicators that directly impact your city’s fiscal health. By providing a central place to measure and communicate progress, we ensure your investments are delivering real, tangible results for a more financially secure future.
Unified Development Codes (UDC)
Clear, concise, and aligned with your city’s future. Our Unified Development Codes streamline complex and fragmented regulations into a single, readable framework that supports fiscally sustainable growth. More than just simplifying rules, we design codes that foster incremental development, diverse housing options, and financially productive land use patterns. The result? A development framework that strengthens both your community’s bottom line and its sense of place.
Zoning Diagnostics
Good zoning should support your community’s vision—not stand in its way. Our Zoning Diagnostics process goes beyond identifying inefficiencies and process gaps; we take a holistic look at your regulations to uncover where they may be preventing the fiscally sustainable development your city needs. By aligning zoning policies with long-term financial health, we help communities create a framework that fosters growth, resilience, and economic sustainability.
Site Analysis & Concept Planning
The right site, the right strategy, the right financial foundation. Whether you’re a city evaluating public land or a developer exploring new opportunities, we help you navigate bureaucratic and regulatory systems that will provide long-term fiscal sustainability. Our analysis goes beyond feasibility—we assess what should be built to maximize value, resilience, and return on investment. When it’s time to move from concept to execution, we ensure your project is primed for success, both today and for the future.
