Conditional Use Permits
Variances
CLG leads Variance applications in accordance with local zoning codes and municipal regulations. With deep experience in discretionary entitlement processes, we prepare comprehensive findings and technical justifications demonstrating the presence of unique site constraints and practical difficulties that warrant deviation from specific development standards. Our skilled team conducts site analyses, reviews applicable code provisions, and compiles supporting documentation to establish that the requested relief is consistent with the intent of the zoning ordinance and will not be detrimental to surrounding properties or the public welfare. Through strategic coordination with planning staff and careful preparation of public hearing materials, we guide projects efficiently through the review process to secure defensible approvals.
Land Use Consulting
CLG provides comprehensive land use consulting services in accordance with local, state, and regional planning regulations. With deep experience navigating both discretionary and ministerial processes, we analyze zoning codes, general and specific plans, overlay districts, and policy frameworks to identify strategic pathways for development. Our team evaluates site constraints and regulatory requirements early, delivering clear guidance on feasibility, entitlement strategy, and approval timelines.
We work closely with public agencies, technical consultants, and project stakeholders to structure projects for regulatory alignment and long-term success. By anticipating challenges and integrating land use strategy with environmental and permitting considerations, we streamline the pre-development process and position projects for efficient approvals and execution.
CLG provides strategic pro forma analysis through our experienced team of financial consultants. With a clear understanding of land use regulations, entitlement timelines, and environmental requirements, we evaluate how regulatory constraints and approval pathways influence project costs, density assumptions, absorption schedules, and overall returns. Our team develops detailed financial models to assess feasibility, entitlement risk exposure, and projected performance under varying development scenarios.
By integrating regulatory strategy with financial analysis, we help clients compare site configurations, optimize yield, and structure projects to maximize value while managing uncertainty in the pre-development phase. This disciplined approach supports informed investment decisions grounded in both policy realities and market fundamentals.
Proforma Analysis
Financial Consulting
CLG collaborates with a boutique investment banking firm to provide comprehensive financial feasibility and real estate analysis services. This collaboration allows us to align entitlement strategy with disciplined financial evaluation from the earliest stages of project planning.
Through this partnership, we support the preparation and review of pro formas evaluating the viability of proposed developments and financing structures. Our analysis considers development costs, projected revenues, absorption assumptions, capital stack composition, and timing sensitivities to ensure that financial projections are grounded in realistic regulatory timelines and market conditions. By closely coordinating land use strategy with financial modeling, we help identify potential risks, stress-test assumptions, and refine project parameters before significant capital is committed.
This integrated approach provides stakeholders with clear, data-driven insight into project performance, enabling informed decision-making and structured execution in dynamic real estate and capital markets environments.
Massing and Modeling
CLG provides strategic massing and modeling services to evaluate development potential and inform entitlement strategy at the earliest stages of a project. Through detailed site analysis and zoning interpretation, we prepare conceptual massing studies that test height, density, setbacks, parking configurations, and site constraints to determine feasible build-out scenarios.
Our team utilizes three-dimensional modeling and volumetric analysis to illustrate how proposed development aligns with applicable zoning standards, overlay requirements, and neighborhood context. These visual tools support agency discussions, community outreach, and internal feasibility assessments, allowing stakeholders to understand both regulatory limits and design opportunities.
By integrating massing studies with land use strategy and environmental considerations, CLG helps clients refine site plans, optimize yield, and structure projects for efficient approvals. This analytical approach ensures that design intent and regulatory compliance are aligned before significant capital is deployed.
