We Help Medical & Biotech Projects Navigate Zoning, CEQA, and CUPs Southern California

Securing a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) in Southern California is rarely straightforward, especially for highly regulated medical and biotech uses. We specialize in guiding projects through the zoning approval process with confidence and precision.

Our team has successfully managed CUPs for a variety of complex uses, including hospitals, cancer centers, mental health facilities, medical clinics, skilled nursing facilities, drug and alcohol rehab facilities, and biotech facilities. These projects required deep coordination with city and county planners, engineers, architects,, and environmental consultants, and we delivered approvals that allowed development to move forward on schedule.

From initial due diligence to final entitlement, we help clients navigate zoning codes, environmental requirements, and political concerns with a strategy built for long-term success.

Vice President Sharp Healthcare
" Terry is a key factor in the success of many of Sharp HealthCare’s projects. Terry has worked with us on a Cancer Center, a Master Plan, a major 770 stall parking structure, a medical office building and most recently on a new $239M hospital expansion. As a member of each project’s Design Build team, it was Terry’s job to manage the interface with local government and special districts on all required permits. We consistently achieve our fast track schedules, because Terry is “best-of-class” in securing entitlements. "

I have had the pleasure of working with Terry and several large project pursuits. Terry’s passion for his work is contagious! Permitting is critical on any job but in particular on large complex, multi-phased projects or programs. Terry has the expertise and the personal relationships to get the job done. I highly recommend him.

“We all know how challenging the entitlement/permitting process can be. Terry Strom recently expedited two parking variances for me with the County. He cut the timing anticipated for my clients in half with his connections, persistence and follow up and saved them a great deal of money. I highly recommend Terry!!”
