🏗️ Common Situations Requiring Consultation
New Construction Projects
Even small projects can trigger complex zoning requirements. LA has dozens of planning areas, each with different rules that overlap.
Adding Units (SB 9, Density Bonus)
State housing laws can override local zoning—but only if applied correctly. Maximize your property's unit potential.
Special Zone Requirements
Coastal zones, hillside areas, fire hazard zones, and historic districts require specialized approval processes.
Zone Changes & Variances
Requesting conditional use permits, variances, or rezoning requires strategic planning and community engagement.
Avoiding Permit Delays
Stop wasting time with resubmissions. Get it right the first time with proper documentation and strategy.
LA's Complex Land Use Constraints
Properties can fall under multiple overlapping regulations: Zoning Codes, Community Plan Overlays, Specific Plans, Coastal Zone Rules, Fire Hazard Zones, Historic Preservation, and State Housing Laws.
