Developer Services
SITE CAPACITY ANALYSIS
Our land development regulation expertise ensures that your project will comply with government requirements and that you will avoid surprises. We can also advise you on the local government regulations that can be most likely waived or varied to meet your proforma. The TMPG team will be with you throughout each step of the application process and local government proceedings.
EXPERT WITNESS TESTIMONY
Michele Mellgren, AICP, provides expert witness testimony to assist you in establishing a record. She carefully develops the argument and supports it with citations from comprehensive plans and zoning codes. She is a leading planning, zoning and land-use expert, and has qualified in circuit court as an expert witness.
PERMIT EXPEDITING
As you begin the construction process, our experienced permit facilitators assist your construction team by completing permits or reviewing for accuracy, delivering permits to regional, county and local government offices, following up to ensure timely processing, and delivering approved documents to your job sites.
ANIMATION & MODELING
Visually powerful explanations of variations of proposed land use or zoning changes through 3-D modeling and animation can help citizens, elected officials and courtrooms understand important concepts.
GRAPHIC DESIGN
Our graphic design services can illustrate vital ideas, promote support for projects, and encourage turnout at meetings through direct mail and newsletters, and develop meeting and courtroom graphics to clarify development issues.
PHOTOGRAPHY
We provide aerial, scenic, landscape, situational and editorial photography services to clarify and illustrate your development.
VIDEO PRODUCTION
Our team provides video deposition services, on-location shooting, and documentary and biographical productions, as well as editing and video animation services; and DVD and CD duplication.
LAND USE PLAN AMENDMENTS
AND REZONINGS
We prepare analysis for technical impacts, compatibility, statutory compliance and persuasive amendment justification.
We work closely with local governments, planning councils and the Florida Department of Community Affairs to anticipate objections and negate them whenever possible. We are specialists in remedial measures, thus helping to overcome formal objections.
DUE DILIGENCE
Our team of professional planners fulfill your technical or background research needs. We review comprehensive plans and zoning codes to determine the effect of adopted language on a development proposal; compare similar projects and outcomes from the review through approval; and research the land use and zoning history of a property. We are efficient researchers with the professional expertise to provide you with reliable and useful information.
LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS
Our in-depth experience in writing and applying zoning codes and land development regulations assists you in formulating effective arguments, or in identifying changes to existing regulations that can facilitate your project. TMPG identifies your entitlements, and ferrets out ambiguous or conflicting code provisions in order to leverage your proposal.
PUBLIC OUTREACH &
CONSENSUS BUILDING
Oftentimes, informing the public about your proposed development requires more than a meeting invitation. Our public outreach programs are personalized and effective. Whether meeting with neighbors in their living room, or hosting a meeting in a hotel ballroom, we are effective in informing and educating the public about a particular project, always with the goal of gaining support for the development. We also assist your efforts by creating informational and public relations campaigns to focus public support.
GIS, MAPPING & GRAPHICS
We offer a full array of mapping and illustration capabilities. Utilizing a geographic information system (GIS) program, we create a variety of maps to integrate a broad spectrum of data. GIS mapping is superior to basic aerial photographs and can include, for example, graphical representations of infrastructure, physical and socioeconomic data, and other information that can reinforce your case or support a public meeting presentation. We also provide animated motion graphics to illustrate developments in 3-D.
