City Code Diagnostic

Planning services include collaboration with cities, developers institutional partners seeking to modernize development regulations.

Experienced in the identifying where zoning, landscape and development codes inhibit redevelopment, increase project risk, or create approval bottlenecks and translating findings into clear directives and actionable solutions. Recent experience includes evaluating landscape and tree protections ordinances, developing new classification frameworks, integrating Low Impact Development stormwater strategies into zoning and nonconforming use standards, and advising on the transition from static code requirements to flexible, performance-based approaches.

As an independent contractor, I bring a nimble, project-specific approach that complements in-house staff and consulting teams.
