LAND ENTITLEMENTS
Our experience and passion of understanding the entire development and permitting process is a noted strength of Compass Group. Compass has been the leader of different jurisdictional efforts to improve its land development and permitting processes in Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina. We will define the process if it is unclear to avoid obstacles to best value and timely developments. When there is no defined process, we will work with local and state agencies to develop a process—even when it requires a first-time non-conventional method to success. We anticipate agency issues and prevent the back and forth process with government and/or its agencies. Processing entitlements thoroughly is key to the management of risk for our projects. Compass Group and the assembled team directly handle the essentials to the land entitlements process such as:
- Ensuring entitlements are conditioned to the final acquisition of lands.
- Future land use amendments.
- Developments of regional impact (DRI).
- Comprehensive plan amendments.
- Declaration of zoning, changes in zoning, variance, conditional use.
- Master development agreements with jurisdictions.
- Development agreements with state agencies and utilities.
- Right-of-way abandonments or improvements.
- Activating necessary easements and or abandoning easements.
