Site Development Report (SDR)

Are you ready to start the building process? Whether it’s an addition, guest house, block wall or just a row of hedges, knowing what, where and how to get it done is crucial. That’s where the Site Development Report (SDR) comes in. We utilize publicly available satellite imagery and GIS maps and data to produce a Site Plan what the property boundaries and what’s on it.

We don’t stop there though. With a Site Plan drawn we then delve deep into the zoning and local ordinances to identify and assess setbacks, allowable lot coverage, site restrictions, easements (if available) and present all of this onto Architectural D format sheets (24x36) that can be printed, sketched on, or delivered to our design team or design professional of your choice to begin the design process.

• A scaled Site Plan (⅛” = 1’ typically)

• Property Boundaries

• Rough structure footprints

• Design relevant site features (pools, fountains, patios, etc.)

• Setbacks ( from all sides)

• Easements (if they are shown on the APN map)

• Adjacent road (with sidewalks, parkways, curb, etc.)

• General site dimensions (to aid with design considerations)

• Address

• APN Number

• Homeowner information

• Presiding authority (city or county)

• Historic classification (if applicable)

• Specific Plan designation (if applicable)

• Flood Zone

• Zone Classification

• Setbacks

• Max Height

• Parking Requirements

• Fencing/Wall Restrictions

• Fire Sprinklers

• Solar Panels

• Are there any restrictions that are severely limiting what can be built?

• Are there any site features or structures that could pose an issue for future improvements? (slopes, hills, ravines, etc.)

• Are there any flood, wind, or seismic concerns for the property?

• Is there limited access to utilities?

• Are there any historic or specific plan restrictions that impact future improvements?

• Are there any access issues that might impact construction?

• Are there any other potential restrictions that we haven’t considered?

Based on the information that is discovered our team will assemble any possible recommendations. If there is a specific project you’re looking to do, be sure to let us know when you place your order so that we can make specific recommendations in regards to what it is you’re looking to do.

If your project is in one of our service areas we can refer you to construction professionals and consultants that we have worked with in the past and trust.

While the SDR is thorough, it is not exhaustive. Without having a proposed design to present to the local Planning Department it’s not feasible to get ALL possible requirements as each property and project type will need to abide by different codes and ordinances. Landscaping requirements and HOA restrictions, for example, should also be considered but are not included in this scope of service.

This service takes 5-7 business days to complete.
