PLANNING SYSTEMS provides coordination and management of projects through local agencies and state permit entitlement processes. We understand the planning process, coordinate plan preparation, prepare application packages, interface and negotiate with agency staff, prepare and coordinate CEQA review, and represent projects at public hearings. We have prepared several Master Plans and Specific Plans. We have done significant land use policy work including preparation of growth management plans, code amendments, public facility adequacy analyses, site development plans, conditional use permits, and local coastal program amendments. We also prepare and process policy changes, such as zone changes and general plan amendments, master plan and specific plan amendments. We prepare schedules of tasks, budgets and strategies in an effort to assist the client in decision-making.
PLANNING SYSTEMS also has significant experience in providing interface with a number of federal agencies and with the public. We have also organized and coordinated citizen participation workshops and community group meetings for projects or policy actions that may be of particular controversy. We have created accurate visual simulations and public informational booklets to describe and portray projects in an accurate and comparative fashion.
