Land Use
For any development project, properly understanding the past, present, and planned land uses, and appropriately planning for future local, regional, and national needs and desires are essential. Inventorying and identifying those uses, and understanding how best to plan for those needs and desires requires experienced, thorough, and creative professionals.
From carrying out land use inventories and field surveys, identifying development sites best suited for a project, completing land use impact analyses, to creating land use planning documents that maximize project opportunity and meet jurisdictional requirements, EPG’s land use planning team brings experience, detail, and passion to their work. EPG has a long record of assisting private and government clients with land development projects. We conduct multidisciplinary land use studies, inventories, and planning documents for private residential, commercial, and industrial developers and with city, county, and regional government agencies.

For our clients, our approach provides: highly-detailed land use inventories; thorough, methodology-based, and defensible impact analyses; and clear, reliable, and nuanced development recommendations.
