Navigating Entitlements with Clarity and Experience
Entitlements and planning are often the most complex and misunderstood parts of real estate development
At Trusty Enterprises, we manage this process carefully, working within local regulations while identifying opportunities to enhance a property’s value. We collaborate closely with planning staff, zoning officials, engineers, and community stakeholders to guide projects through approvals in a thoughtful, transparent manner. Our approach focuses on realistic outcomes, not speculative assumptions.
OUR ENTITLEMENT APPROACH
We begin by understanding what is possible by right, and then evaluate whether additional approvals or zoning adjustments make sense based on the property and market conditions.
Our entitlement and planning services include:
- Zoning and future land use analysis
- Density and use feasibility studies
- Coordination with planning and zoning departments
- Conceptual site planning and yield studies
- Support for rezonings, PUDs, and special approvals when appropriate
By grounding each project in local planning standards, we reduce risk and increase certainty throughout the approval process.
WORKING WITH MUNICIPALITIES & COMMUNITIES
Successful entitlements are built on communication and respect for the planning process.
We work proactively with:
• City and county planning staff
• Planning & Zoning boards
• Elected officials when required
• Adjacent property owners and stakeholders
Our goal is to align project design with municipal objectives while creating developments that are approvable, functional, and well-received.
VALUE FOR PROPERTY OWNERS
For property owners, entitlements can significantly impact value, but they also introduce complexity.
We help owners:
• Understand what their property can realistically support
• Evaluate whether pursuing entitlements makes sense
• Decide between selling as-is or capturing additional value through planning
This clarity allows owners to make informed decisions without unnecessary risk or guesswork.
WHO THIS IS FOR
Our entitlement and planning services are ideal for:
- Landowners unsure of zoning or density potential
- Sellers evaluating redevelopment opportunities
- Projects requiring rezoning or PUD approval
- Partners seeking experienced entitlement execution
