Entitlement Report - COMMERCIAL Projects
New projects require a lot of background research - why not hire a licensed design professional to give you a head start with an entitlement report outlining the planning requirements and constraints applicable to your project? This is the first step we recommend - before signing a lease! This report will give you the crucial information that applies to your business and the location you are looking into - not all locations are good fits for all businesses. This is available to clients in California and Colorado only.
What our report will include:
-
General parcel information - Assessor's parcel number, address, climate zone, etc.
-
Agencies Having Jurisdiction (AHJs) for the parcel (i.e. local city or county) with their contact information
-
Planning Zone(s) with links to your local ordinances if they are available online
-
Zoning requirements:
-
Setbacks (and exceptions)​
-
Lot coverage and floor area limitations
-
Building height limitations
-
Allowable-by-right building types and quantities
-
Permitted uses and uses permitted by additional planning approvals
-
Parking minimums and required layouts
-
Conformance with other current planning regulations like trash enclosures, grease interceptors, and signage allowances
-
Additional agency information for projects with septic systems and water wells
-
-
Applicable building codes, along with additional valuable design and construction information including:
-
Whether or not the parcel is in the Wildland Urban Interface (Very High Fire Severity Zone)​
-
If there are high snow or wind structural loads that would require an engineered building
-
Additional Regulations on the parcel - Architectural Review Boards, etc.
-
​
Information that may be excluded from the report:
-
Exiting Analysis for occupant loads in existing buildings
-
ADA reports on existing buildings
-
Restroom plumbing count analysis in existing buildings
-
Easements (utility or other) that are only documented on the owner's deed and/or title report documents. We would have no way of obtaining that information unless you also send us a copy of those documents.
