Planning Department & Review Board Approvals

The process varies from city to city, but most Cities require some form of Planning Department review process. They can range from simple staff level approvals to formal public hearings. Our firm has experience working in almost every jurisdiction on the peninsula and south bay. As a result we have built up a good rapport and reputation with their staffs and a thorough understanding of their local ordinances and approval processes. We regularly make presentations at public hearings on behalf of our clients, and have been able to navigate projects through difficult approvals on numerous occasions.
