Established in 1994, our core business is providing the most accurate zoning information possible along with reliable site zoning analysis and compliance review. Our experienced team will research all current zoning ordinances and local municipal laws to ensure the compliance of your project site. The Planning and Zoning Resource Corporation will produce a variety of commercial zoning documents including zoning reports, zoning letters, executive summary reports and more.
Our Research Includes:
- The specific zoning designation of the site, as established by the current municipal code.
- The uses allowed under the zoning designation established by the zoning ordinance and whether the present use of the subject site is legally permitted.
- The minimum yard or setback requirements and a review of the survey for compliance.
- The building height requirement, whether by number of stories or actual height above ground level, and a review of the survey for compliance.
- The bulk or density restrictions of the property, and a determination of compliance.
- The formula for determining the minimum parking requirement, and a comparison of the required parking count to the actual site count.
- Special circumstances to be considered would include: legal non-compliance of any of the above factors, the issuance of zoning compliance letters from the municipalities, the existence of variances, council minutes, certificates of occupancy, building inspections and the effect of site plan approval.
