PERMITTING

Most CDPs require a topographic survey, biological assessment, geotechnical report, civil engineering plans, stormwater management documentation, visual simulations, public-access analysis, and environmental impact findings. We coordinate with every consultant, assemble the full submission package, and manage agency communication.

We evaluate geological setbacks, erosion rates, bluff stability, and the 75-year safety zone required in many jurisdictions. Our designs avoid encroaching on unstable zones and use appropriate foundation systems, such as deep caissons or minimized footings for long-term safety.

We proactively meet with planning staff, anticipate likely questions, prepare visual simulations, and coordinate all technical reports up front. Our early-stage strategy resolves issues before the formal submittal, significantly shortening review times.

Yes. La Jolla, Del Mar, Laguna Beach, Manhattan Beach, Malibu, and San Diego each have unique zoning overlays, local coastal programs, and review boards. We design to those specific standards to avoid redesigns, appeals, or extended review cycles.
