What is a Pre-Development Site Review?
A Pre-Development Site Review (PDSR) is a land use analysis of a property to identify the zoning and environmental issues that will affect development of the property. A PDSR also lists probable agency approvals and application fees required for your project as well as providing a “road map” to guide you on the next steps to take in the obtaining technical reports and permits. PDSRs provide valuable information to property owners, especially if they are completed before architects, designers or other professionals are hired, as PDSR information can save time and money in construction design and planning. Some local agencies provide certain forms of PDSRs. Cypress Environmental and Land Use Planning is the only private consulting firm that provides PDSRs in Santa Cruz County. Cypress PDSRs are patterned similar to those prepared by the Santa Cruz County Planning Department, but usually provide more detail and consultation with property owners.
