Entitlements are land use approvals for the zone in which real property is located. Local government controls zoning which divides the community into districts with established permitted and special uses and regulations for development standards.  You can build according to the zoning laws established by local government for the property.

Obtaining land use entitlements involves site acquisition, site analysis, obtaining vested rights, plan check, grading, construction and occupancy.

Approval is contingent in part upon the type of entitlement application  filed.  The approval process for each entitlement is not the same and some are governed by CA state law.  Expert assistance cuts the approval time frame significantly.  Without it, your project could be stuck in a silo with no movement for years.  Our typical time-frame is 3-6 months from the date a completed entitlement application is filed.

Land acquisition is the process by which an individual, business, or government entity acquires ownership or control of a piece of land. Land acquisition involves negotiating with the current owner of the land to purchase it at an agreed-upon price. Land acquisition can occur through a variety of means, such as direct purchase, eminent domain, or negotiating a lease or easement. Land acquisition is often necessary for development projects such as building new infrastructure, constructing commercial or residential buildings, or expanding existing facilities. It can also involve acquiring land for conservation or environmental protection purposes. The process of land acquisition can be complex and may involve legal, environmental, and regulatory considerations.
