Land Planning

Land Planning

GROUPE offers Land Planning services for projects located throughout the Washington Metropolitan Area and the Mid-Atlantic.

Land Planning is one of the most important services we provide to our clients. Before starting a large project, it is important to understand the properties and limitations of a given piece of land as they apply to that project. When this part of the planning is done correctly, the client can make the best use of the available land, minimizing costs and optimizing economic performance.

Throughout the process, agencies and firms have continuously improved standards within highway engineering as we have learned more about important concepts such as surface texture, sight distance, and horizontal and vertical curves as they relate to design speed and grade.  If you’ve ever been on an older designed “clover leaf” style on- or off-ramp, you can appreciate some of the other major improvements in the areas of intersection and interchange designs.

Land Planning is a complex and multifaceted process, which includes many factors.

 Some of the processes that are encompassed in the land planning process include:

  • Feasibility studies that address each component of the project to develop a picture of the real costs and potential benefits.
  • Environmental constraint studies that address environmental issues such as water quality issues or drainage concerns.
  • Rezoning concerns land that is not currently zoned for the use the client intends.
  • Special use permits and special exceptions may allow the client to use the property for their project even if it does not fit within the current zoning restrictions and has not been approved for rezoning.

Many of these tasks involve an in-depth knowledge of the local area and the authorities who control zoning and permitting. GROUPE has been providing land planning and feasibility studies in Virginia, Maryland and Washington, DC for over 30 years which means we have both the knowledge and experience to help our clients with land planning in this region.
