Services

Below are common services I offer, but this is absolutely not an exhaustive list. The field of city planning is very broad, so if there’s something else about your property that you need help with, send me a message! I’m happy to discuss how I can help you.

  • Starting at $150.

    This option is perfect for the property owner who wants a specific question answered, wants to brainstorm options, or needs help confirming information. I know the questions to ask and the places to look. I am seasoned in reading codes and can help interpret them to you. I can obtain public records on your behalf and if necessary, go in person to municipalities and speak to staff.

  • Starting at $500.

    Often jurisdictions will require a meeting prior to submitting a zoning or building application. With this option, I will help you assemble an application and attend the meeting with you or on your behalf.

  • Starting at $500.

    With this option, I will help you organize your documents and draft a narrative to submit for an application. This option does not include representation at public hearings. Drafting services priced separately.

  • Starting at $1000.

    This package includes organization of documents, drafting of narratives, mailing notifications, correspondence, and representation at hearings. Drafting services priced separately.

  • Prices vary.

    While I have experience with rezoning projects, Desert Community Planning is a small firm and has limited capacity to take on large projects. Before taking on a rezoning project, I will discuss the scope with you, attend a pre-application meeting if necessary, and advise you on expectations and next steps. While I am confident in my ability to lead smaller commercial and residential rezonings, I may need to include additional industry professionals depending on where your project is and what kind of development it is. Please message me to discuss.

  • Starting at $150.

    Received a letter about your property? Did an inspector give you a citation? I know how scary it feels to not have anyone to explain the next steps to you. With this service, I will review your situation, explore your options, and communicate with jurisdictional staff if needed to recommend a solution. For an additional fee, I can accompany you to meet with staff and understand what’s discussed. This is NOT legal representation and I will not get involved in court proceedings. That is beyond my scope. This is for basic help understanding jurisdiction rules and processes.

  • Starting at $300.

    This service includes drafting letters if necessary and mailing notices to interested parties. Additional material fees apply.

  • Prices vary.

    I can plan and host neighborhood meetings with you, advise you on information collected, and facilitate stakeholder communication.

  • Fees Vary.

    Site plans, plot plans, simple floor plans, and basic plans to explore layouts and ideas. Not for construction. I do not stamp plans.

My Philosophy

Shared Knowledge

There’s no gatekeeping here- I believe that educated people are empowered people. I hope that by working with me, you learn a little bit more about how land use regulations work and you walk away feeling confident.

Open Collaboration

You’re part of the process. We keep communication open and decisions shared—no black boxes or surprises.

Intentionality

Every project is different. We stay flexible and responsive to make sure the process fits your flow—not the other way around.

Partnership

This is your project—I’m just here to help. You don’t know what you don’t know, so sometimes it’s helpful to have someone right there beside you to help you along. I’m not working for you, I’m working with you and I’ll include you every step of the way until we reach your goal.
