Services for Cities


Zack Urban Solutions can help your city come up with a bold strategic vision and create implementation tools that will ensure that vision manifests itself as beautiful public spaces, abundant housing of every type, productive workplaces, convenient shopping, and exciting entertainment venues. With 23 years of experience in local government, we know what is like to live with a plan and implement it day in and day out; this gives us a much different perspective from many other consultants.

Services for Developers


Developers get a bad rap, and sometimes that is not unwarranted. However, we need good developers to build the housing, workplaces, and entertainment that our city plans envision, and some developers care about delivering attractive, sustainable, and equitable projects for their communities. If you are that kind of developer, Zack Urban Solutions can help you make your idea come to life. We can help you deal with the unique challenges that come with infill development, envision the possibilities for unusual sites, and navigate complex zoning codes and entitlement processes. By connecting with neighbors, city staff, and elected officials, we can help community-minded developers succeed by providing services such as:

  • Visioning
  • Site Selection
  • Due Diligence
  • Preliminary Feasibility Analysis and Proformas
  • Neighborhood Outreach
  • Site Planning, Massing Models, and Conceptual Design
  • Zoning /Form-Based Code Analysis
  • Rezones
  • Plan Amendments
  • Entitlement Processing
    Permit Troubleshooting
