Why Choose Site Study for Your Residential Project?

Begin Your Residential Site Assessment
  • Data-Driven Residential Planning:
    Site Study uses the latest data from local zoning codes, GIS, city ordinances, and environmental regulations to focus on factors that impact your property and goals.
  • Mitigate Risks Early:
    Identify potential challenges such as lot coverage, setback requirements, height restrictions, and permit timelines before investing heavily.
  • Optimize for Compliance:
    We deliver a development plan tailored for compliance with local entitlement standards and your specific property needs.
  • Streamlined Residential Design:
    Our plans maximize the potential of your lot, balancing aesthetic goals with functionality, compliance, and budget considerations.
  • Maximize Your Investment:
    Determine entitlement costs, establish a baseline for architect and engineering bids, and optimize your property’s potential for cost-effective development.

Know Before You Build

We evaluate the viability of your project before you commit to costly architectural and engineering services.

Standard parameters include the property boundary, adjacent streets, proposed structures and additions, standard and accessible parking, landscaped and hardscaped areas, entryways, pathways, and waste and utility locations. Depending on the project, we can incorporate additional features such as:

  • Driveway placement and emergency vehicle access
  • Pool, patio, or deck layouts
  • Fencing and privacy screens
  • Stormwater management areas
  • Retaining walls or sloped area design


Project data tables include property size (acreage and square footage), impervious coverage, and floor area ratios, along with parking and landscaping ratios, tailored to residential use.

Swept path analysis ensures your property complies with vehicle access standards, such as emergency vehicle access and turn radius requirements. This analysis influences driveway design, parking configurations, and service vehicle access points, ensuring your property meets local codes while maximizing functionality.

Our zoning compliance sheets detail standards and definitions specific to residential projects. These sheets include:

  • Compliance Data: Zoning classifications, overlay zones, setback requirements, height restrictions, and fees.
  • Compliance Standards: Building height, lot coverage, setbacks, parking requirements, and landscaping design.
  • Compliance Definitions: Key terms and standards to guide your project through zoning regulations.


Additionally, PDF links to local land development codes are provided, highlighting specific requirements for your property.

Our planners review your development plan with the city during an initial meeting. Key questions may include:

  • What are the expected permit fees?
  • Are there any public input requirements for the project?
  • What additional studies (e.g., traffic, environmental) may be needed?
  • Are there any known challenges with the proposed design?


This process validates your project assumptions, helping you move forward with confidence.

The site development plan serves as the foundation for architectural and engineering design. We provide CAD files to your design team, streamlining the process and potentially reducing costs by providing a clear and actionable starting point.

Site Study offers comprehensive Phase II services, including:

  • Additional entitlement design and permitting
  • Detailed architectural design and construction documentation
  • Building permit acquisition


As a full-service architectural + engineering (A+E) firm, we guide your residential project from concept to completion.
