Site Design & Concept Planning Services
Successful site design bridges local land-use regulations and a cost effective approach to land development. The site layout must fulfill client development and operational goals while conforming to city and county code standards, transportation and utility needs, and environmental protection requirements.
Cascadia Planning provides creative site design services tailored to the specific attributes of each property and the needs of its clients. We prepare land division layout and site plans that optimize the development potential of land for a variety of residential and commercial projects, and can be supported by city and county staff.
