Land Use Planning
Horizons Engineering’s land planning practice has the technical depth
and experience to deliver a wide range of professional services to guide
public and private developers through the complex process of developing environmentally
sound land use plans. Services range from preliminary site feasibility assessments
through master planning and detailed, on-the-ground design and layout of
proposed projects.
Horizons Engineering has prepared land use plans for tracts of land measuring thousands of acres to smaller, high intensity projects. The firm is well known for working with clients from the initial feasibility of a project to the final creation of construction documents and receipt of entitlements.
Land use planning involves a number of steps that must be coordinated
with local communities and a wide range of state and federal regulatory
agencies. Other key steps involve financial and market considerations. Horizons’ planners
are accustomed to working in a collaborative, team environment with other
professionals, as well as with regulatory agencies at all levels.
Horizons Engineering’s seamless approach to integrated, multidisciplinary
planning, design,
permitting, and construction will ensure a smooth and efficient process from
concept to completion. Communication throughout all stages of the planning
and development process is one of the cornerstones of Horizons’ success.
The long term relationships built with clients and the trust that has been
created with regulatory authorities provide the basis for the fact that most
of the company’s business is from repeat clients.
