Land use planning, landscape architecture, land use policy formulation, environmental assessments, and entitlement processing and permitting services located in North County, CA since 1985. Coordinating and managing development entitlements for a residential subdivision, condominium project, shopping center, industrial buildings, etc. represent the bulk of the firm’s work. The firm has been involved in most of the important development – and re-development - projects in the area and can boast a very impressive and loyal client base. Currently it is serving approximately 25 unique clients and 80 projects that can take years to complete and then repeat periodically. The types of projects change over time but the community is vibrant and unlikely to run out of projects that require these services – ever.
Sellers are moving into semi-retirement but are committed to facilitate a smooth transition and support the buyer into the future in a part-time advisory capacity. The sellers work in the business approximately 45 hours per week (between them). Other than transition support, their roles can be absorbed by one consultant/owner and existing staff.
