Entitlement Services / Strategies
Navigating a course through complex and subjective approvals is a fundamental step in advancing a project and securing long-term value for your property.
If your site needs annexation, an Environmental Impact Report, general plan amendment, rezoning, planned development permit, conditional use permit, variance or development agreement, you’ll need to know both the regulator and political steps required to secure these approvals.
Taking proactive control of the entitlement process can maximize future rights and flexibility, reduce your approval and litigation risk, and minimize development constraints—resulting in faster approvals, less risk of denial, higher development densities, larger developable areas, longer vesting of development rights, and lower legal and construction costs. Improve your bottom line by finding a partner who specializes in developing successful entitlement strategies.
Optimizing Value
With imaginative, aggressive, development-friendly leaders, Kimley-Horn has helped clients in some of the most restrictive development climates propel ambitious or faltering deals into win-win scenarios.

We understand how to optimize the value of a property while providing responsive, quality development consulting.
