Land Use Studies – Area / Central Business
Land use has a big impact on the social and economic outlook of an area. That’s why municipalities routinely conduct land use studies to evaluate current uses before considering regulations that encourage the best uses to achieve desired outcomes.
Masterplan’s seasoned staff has conducted and completed a variety of land studies. We’re experienced in working with government entities at all levels.
Our team brings a market-driven approach to municipal planning. The study includes documenting uses in a specified area and researching existing rights and limits for sites to assist in evaluation for purchase, sale, or development. We also conduct analyses pertaining to land use data and development standards for code amendments.
Next, we work to understand your local regulations and make recommendations on methods to support the desired land use. If needed, we assist with obtaining or preserving entitlement for the use of property. By controlling land use and setting development standards, the municipality can establish zoning to guide development.
