Planning Services



A basic key to a successful project lies in the initial attention to the planning and entitlement process. Careful planning offers rewards to the Client in a number of ways as vision becomes design which is then transformed into reality. In today’s complex regulatory environment, an integrated knowledge of governing agencies and legislation which affect project design is critical for a successful development.

For our private developer clients, ZNS works to ensure that the planning process ultimately results in an approved plan that yields the site’s maximum potential while allowing the project to also be an asset to the community. To accomplish this objective, the ZNS Planning Department strives to stay abreast of regional and local regulations and trends. By identifying and establishing professional relationships with regulators and knowing the regulatory requirements, ZNS is able to provide competent and respected representation throughout the entitlement process. By applying our vast local knowledge with our innovative approach to the planning process, we have earned an impeccable reputation including multiple awards for design excellence.
