WE PEEL THE
LAYERS APART.
Every parcel sits under four to twelve layers of overlapping regulation. Most consultants read the top layer. We read all of them — then find the gap.
Base Zoning Map
We pull the official zoning map, parcel data, and municipal code. Everything stacked.
Overlay Districts
Flood zones, historic districts, TOD corridors, view corridors — each layer is isolated and read against the base.
The Variance Path
We find the specific code section, administrative precedent, or CUP condition that opens the door. One line of text that changes the deal.

BUILT FOR THE DEAL
ON THE EDGE.
Landlocked parcels with hidden FAR.
You bought a site that everyone else passed on. Your title report shows three overlapping restrictions. We find the specific code exception that makes your 18-unit project work.
Nonconforming use analysis that holds up in court.
Your client inherited a property with a use that predates the current code. We document the legal nonconforming status with the specificity that survives a planning department challenge.
Your design didn't fail. The setback calculation did.
Planning staff red-lined your project at 35% lot coverage. We find the averaging calculation in §12-401(c) that brings you to 42%. Your design survives.
One zoning assessment changes everything.
Before you kill a deal, before you redesign, before you settle — get our read.
DEALS OTHERS
DECLARED DEAD.
Every case below began with a planner, an attorney, or a contractor saying the project couldn't be built. Every one was built.
"Entitle found a density bonus provision in §45-112(f) that our attorney had missed. We went from 12 units to 19 units on the same parcel. That's $2.4M in additional project value."
