Land Planning

 

WHGA understands a successful project requires a creative planning approach that is technically sound to address today's tough regulatory environment.  Because each site and development are unique, a thorough understanding of our clients' program objectives, as well as a comprehensive assessment of the project's physical constraints and development opportunities, are necessary.  Conceptual layouts or master plans are developed to evaluate the development program and assess zoning and engineering requirements.  The conceptual development phase should identify preliminary cost estimates, off-site easement requirements, and other important issues for consideration.  Throughout the planning process, WHGA works closely with its clients to identify critical tasks to be pursued in a timely manner.  These planning tasks may include:

  • Site Suitability Studies
  • Site Constraints Analysis
  • Zoning Compliance / Density Studies
  • Rezoning, Special Exception / Permit and Variance Applications
  • Concept Plan Development
  • Illustrative Plans / Supporting Exhibits
  • Site Access, Circulation and Parking Studies
 
 
WHGA's valuable experience with Parks and Recreation Facility Planning is reflected in our  multi-disciplinary approach that recognizes the site's natural resources, evaluates the development program, and identifies critical path considerations.  WHGA enhances the facility master planning process through community outreach and offers value-added services to guide our clients throughout the design and construction phases.  Our facility planning and design expertise includes:
