Entitlements & Approvals Planning Services Getting projects approved, Sikand guides owners and developers through feasibility, tentative maps, and agency processing, drawing on six decades of relationships across Southern California jurisdictions. Start your entitlement See our capabilities 1959 Serving SoCal since LA County Agency relationships Concept → Map Full entitlement path In-House Planning & engineering Knowing the path is half of getting approved. Our planning practice takes projects through the approvals process — testing what a site can support, preparing applications and maps, and carrying the project through hearings and conditions to a buildable entitlement. Six decades across Southern California means we know how each jurisdiction actually operates, what staff will ask for, where projects stall, and how to sequence submittals so review cycles move instead of resetting. What We Deliver Feasibility & Due Diligence Early analysis of zoning, constraints, and yield so you know what a site can support before you commit. Tentative Maps Tentative tract and parcel maps prepared and processed through review to approval and conditions. Entitlement Applications Conditional use permits, variances, site plan review, and the discretionary applications your project needs. Agency Coordination Direct engagement with planning staff and departments to resolve comments and keep review cycles moving. Conditions of Approval Tracking and clearing conditions from approval through final map so nothing stalls at the finish line. Land Use & Zoning Zone changes, general plan amendments, and land use strategy for projects that need more than by-right. STEP 04 Approve & Clear Hearings supported and conditions of approval cleared through recording. STEP 03 Submit Maps and applications prepared, filed, and carried through agency review. STEP 02 Strategize The approvals path mapped, applications, sequencing, timeline. STEP 01 Evaluate Zoning, constraints, and yield tested to confirm viability. — HOW WE WORK A clear path from concept to approval Our planning team leads projects through a simple, disciplined approvals path. — WHERE WE EXCEL Planning support across every project type Residential Development From small infill to master-planned communities, we guide entitlements that unlock housing sites.
