A NEW NAME – SAME GREAT SERVICE.
After 15 years with Planning Works, I’m now managing projects under a new company name.
Michael Lauer Planning will continue to help you develop comprehensive, neighborhood, corridor and strategic plans; meaningfully engage stakeholders in shaping their futures; draft zoning, subdivision, design or form-based regulations; and pursue other strategies to take your community from vision to reality.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
Ensure that affected stakeholders are engaged in the development and implementation of plans and codes to develop a sense of ownership that arises from knowing that they will help the community realize its vision in ways that are consistent with local needs, values and resources.
COMPREHENSIVE &
STRATEGIC PLANNING
Prepare practical, action-oriented comprehensive plans, strategic plans, area and corridor plans and neighborhood revitalization plans that clearly convey the community’s vision for the future, identify measurable steps towards achieving that vision, and schedule specific actions to transform vision to reality.
PLAN IMPLEMENTATION
Draft defensible, usable development regulations that facilitate desired development. We tailor our development codes to address community and neighborhood-specific issues. We also provide continuing support in the forms of code maintenance services, site plan review assistance and a wide variety of other plan implementation measures.
GREAT OUTCOMES & CONSTRUCTIVE COLLABORATION
I believe that great outcomes result from the constructive collaboration that has fostered my long-term relationships with so many of my clients. By listening to your needs and ensuring that stakeholders understand the implications of their options, we can build support for actions that create vibrant neighborhoods and communities that thrive through the normal ups and downs of the global and national economies, that respect valued resources and promote positive change.
