Zoning analysis and development feasibility

 

Every good project starts with the same question: what can this site actually hold? IPG answers it before you close escrow, sign a lease or start design. A feasibility study from IPG tells you what the zoning allows, what state law adds, what the city process looks like and roughly how long it takes.

 

What a feasibility study covers

• Zoning, general plan and specific plan designations, pulled from the jurisdiction's municipal code with citations

• Allowed uses and the permit path for your use (by right, administrative permit, or conditional use permit)

• Development standards: height, setbacks, floor area, density, parking, open space

• State law overlays: density bonus, SB 9, SB 79 transit housing, ADU rules, small lot subdivisions

• Overlays and constraints: historic, hillside, coastal, flood, easements

• Fees, dedications and off-site improvements to budget for

• A realistic timeline and a recommended entitlement strategy

 

Who uses it

Brokers who want to market a site with real numbers. Buyers who want to know before they commit. Owners deciding whether to sell, lease or build. Lenders and partners who want a second opinion. We give you a delivery date before we start.

 

Common questions

When should I get a feasibility study?

Before you buy, sign a lease or start design. It tells you what the site can do and what it will take while you still have options.
