Permitting & Entitlements
Industrial project permitting and entitlement coordination with local agencies.
Permitting and entitlement processes in the DFW Metroplex vary significantly between jurisdictions. Grapevine, Southlake, Irving, and Fort Worth each have different requirements, timelines, and approval processes. We navigate these municipal systems efficiently to keep your project moving toward construction.
Zoning verification is the starting point. Industrial development requires properly zoned land: existing zoning must permit your intended use. Where zoning changes are needed, we manage applications through public hearing processes. Specific use permits may be required for certain industrial operations.
Site plan approval establishes the overall development layout. Municipal review covers building placement, parking requirements, screening, landscaping, and stormwater management. Review comments require coordination between civil engineer, architect, and other design professionals. We manage this process to resolution.
Building permit applications require complete construction documents meeting local codes. Plan review identifies code compliance issues that must be resolved before permit issuance. We track review comments, coordinate responses, and push applications through approval to maintain schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does permitting take?
Timelines vary significantly by jurisdiction and project complexity. Site plan approval typically takes 4-12 weeks. Building permits take 4-8 weeks after site plan approval. We develop specific timelines for each project based on jurisdiction experience.
Do you handle zoning applications?
Yes. We manage zoning change applications, specific use permits, and variance requests when needed. These processes involve public hearings and neighborhood notification. We coordinate with consultants and attend hearings to represent project interests.
What about impact fees?
Many jurisdictions charge impact fees for water, sewer, roads, and parks based on development size and type. These fees can be significant: tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars. We identify applicable fees during preconstruction for budget planning.
How do you handle plan review comments?
We receive review comments, distribute them to appropriate design professionals, coordinate responses, and resubmit for approval. Multiple review cycles are common. We track outstanding comments and work to resolve issues efficiently.
Can you expedite permits?
Some jurisdictions offer expedited review for additional fees. We evaluate whether expediting makes sense for project schedules and budgets. Relationships with review staff and quality applications often matter more than formal expedite processes.
