Land Use Planning
Land Use
Our LSA planning services help in creating livable, practical, and sustainable communities by integrating physical planning with these multiple needs: urban design, economic development, transportation, historic resources, open space, infrastructure, biological resources, and community engagement. Many of our professional staff are educated and trained as planners before pursuing disciplines in environmental analysis, resource management, and transportation. We can prepare land use plans as well as policy and regulatory documents for a wide range of development sites, neighborhoods, cities, and regions across the State.
Resource Management
Skillful resource management preserves and conserves resources while accommodating growth and development. With that in mind, LSA can refine and strengthen relevant concepts and practices, recommend multiple build solutions, and conduct the needed monitoring essential in sustaining resources for your project. We can also conduct the ongoing monitoring necessary in today’s ever-changing environments, whether urban, suburban, or rural. We tailor services to your needs and draw upon an extensive range of specialists in providing both a broad perspective and the diverse expertise your project requires.
