Planning is the art of fusing creative solutions with sound implementation principles to design balanced and engaging communities for residents and visitors. Sapphos Environmental, Inc. works with public- and private-sector project proponents to develop plans that range from an individual parcel or building, to a campus, to larger specific plans and planned communities. The planning process covers a range of desired outcomes, such as redevelopment of a building or group of buildings, new or expanded educational or medical office and hospital campuses, and single- and mixed-use developments. The process is initiated with the identification of a need; definition of goals and objectives; identification of opportunities and constraints; and development, analysis, and entitlement of the plan at either the program or project level. Sapphos Environmental, Inc. is available to provide planning support in several key areas:
- Entitlement applications
- Opportunity and constraints analysis
- Master plans and specific plans for municipalities and redevelopment agencies, educational and health care institutions, private developers, and nonprofit organizations
- Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) analysis for sustainable design and certification of green buildings
- Redevelopment and Local Agency Formation Commission annexation and detachment
- Strategic asset management plans
