Land Use Entitlement & Permitting Consulting

The contract involves securing land use entitlements to legalize a 940 square foot detached garage located in Sacramento County’s AR-1 zoning district, which currently lacks proper permits. The primary objective is to obtain a Special Development Permit that includes a height variance and Design Review approval to bring the structure into compliance with local regulations. This effort requires navigating Sacramento County’s land use and development approval processes to address nonconformities related to building height and design standards, ensuring the structure meets current zoning requirements without necessitating demolition or major reconstruction. The work will entail preparing and submitting all necessary documentation to the county, engaging with planning staff, coordinating with neighborhood associations if required, and possibly presenting at public hearings to gain approval for the variance. The consultant will act as the applicant’s representative throughout the permitting process, leveraging expertise in local land use law and development procedures to achieve a successful outcome. The project is classified as a subcontract under NAICS code 541618 and is associated with a specific county project record, with all performance activities centered within the city of Sacramento.
