Project Types / Infill & Urban Redevelopment
Find a Clear Path Through Infill Constraints
Bring existing conditions, entitlement strategy, environmental planning, design coordination, agency review, and community context into one workplan.
Existing Context Is Part of the Project
Existing uses, neighbors, access, utilities, policy, design context, operations, prior approvals, site conditions, and public-process expectations can shape both the project definition and review path.
CDA develops the constraint and coordination framework. Licensed technical professionals and counsel evaluate matters within their expertise, and public agencies independently review and decide applications.

Existing Conditions & Feasibility
Organize known site, access, use, utility, policy, entitlement, and community-context questions.
Entitlement & Community Context
Map the anticipated approval path, public process, stakeholder context, and open agency questions.
Environmental & Technical Review
Coordinate project definition with specialist studies and technical plans prepared by the responsible professionals.
Design Refinement & Agency Coordination
Track design decisions, agency feedback, alternatives, hearing preparation, conditions, and responsibilities.
Coordinate Refinement and Review
Constraint Definition
Separate verified conditions, assumptions, specialist questions, agency questions, and sponsor criteria.
Option Testing
Compare project-definition choices against approvals, public process, technical dependencies, and implementation implications.
Coordinated Refinement
Maintain one current project definition as sponsor, team, specialist, community-context, and agency inputs evolve.
Infill Constraint Pathway
A jurisdiction pathway separates what is known, what requires professional analysis, and what remains subject to agency review.
Verified Existing Context
Record reliable site, use, access, infrastructure, policy, approval, and neighborhood-context information.
Specialist Evaluation
Assign legal, environmental, engineering, surveying, architectural, and other questions appropriately.
Project Options
Compare alternatives with explicit assumptions, tradeoffs, public-process implications, and dependencies.
Agency Pathway
Track pre-application direction, submissions, comments, hearings, conditions, and decisions made by agencies.
