Land Development & Zoning Approvals

PH&C manages subdivision, land development, and zoning approvals with the municipality, from the first submission through the approved plan.

Municipal approval is often the longest and least predictable part of a project. PH&C can assist you with this process. We guide the design team through the township’s subdivision and land development requirements and pursue any variance, conditional use, or rezoning the project needs.

What PH&C handles

  • Reading the ordinance and choosing the approval path before the plan is drawn.
  • Preparing and coordinating the submission package: site plans, stormwater, traffic, and application forms.
  • Tracking staff, planning commission, and outside-agency review comments by department.
  • Preparing the design team and the owner for public meetings and hearings.
  • Responding to comment letters with a single, coordinated set of revisions.
  • Converting conditions of approval into design changes, budget items, and bid requirements.
  • Keeping the approved plan consistent with highway, stormwater, utility, and building permits.

What you get

  • A clear map of the approvals your project needs and how long each is likely to take.
  • A manager who watches deadlines, meeting schedules, and review periods.
  • Fewer rounds of comments, because responses are checked before they are filed.
  • Early notice of conditions that add cost.

How it connects

Before you buy, land development requirements lists what the ordinance allows. Parallel permits include NPDES stormwater permitting and highway permitting. Tell us about your site and we will outline the approval path.
