Our team members have prepared more than a 1,000 environmental planning and permitting documents. Most of LACO’s senior Planning staff has worked on “both sides of the counter” and understands the development process intimately from both perspectives. Our team has provided on-call and contract planning services throughout the North Coast for years, including for the Counties of Humboldt and Mendocino, and we are here to leverage that expertise into comprehensive support for local Planning Departments through these challenging times. We are here to integrate with your team, build your organizational capacity, and help provide a smoother, more rapid turnaround on development applications and environmental review documents.
