Our Land Use and Zoning Permit Expediting Process

Let’s be honest — California’s zoning process isn’t exactly user-friendly. But that’s where we shine. At Strom Permit, our expediting process is built to cut through red tape, calm the chaos, and actually get your project approved.

Initial Zoning Review

We dig into your property’s zoning designation, allowable uses, and any restrictions that might derail your plan. No guesswork — just straight answers.

Strategic Permit Roadmap

Once we know what’s possible, we map out every step, submittal, and approval you’ll need — whether it’s a Conditional Use Permit, variance, rezoning, or site plan.

Application Preparation & Submission

We handle the forms, attachments, site plans, and those oddly specific checklists cities love. Our team submits everything clean, complete, and compliant.

Coordination with City Staff & Agencies

You’ll get a full report, the good, the bad, and the bureaucratic. It’s a roadmap showing what’s doable, what’s risky, and what hoops you’ll have to jump through to get approved.

Representation & Revisions

Need to attend a hearing or respond to comments? We’ve got you. We represent your interests and adjust plans as needed to keep your project on track.

Approval & Next Steps

Once approved, we guide you on what comes next — whether it’s building permits or consultant coordination. You’re never left in the dark.

Testimonials

" 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. "

“Terry is one of the most impressive project managers I have worked with in my 36 years of construction experience. Permitting is a critical part of any construction project schedule. He truly manages the permitting process and gets results.”

“Have had the privilege of working with Terry Strom for several years. Cannot imagine going into battle without my entitlement sword and shield of Terry!”

“Terry gets in there and gets things done his tenacity, knowledge, expertise, get it done attitude proved infectious as the first project became a reality. He is the guy I want on my team to get the job done & we have retained his services on couple projects and look forward to having him on the next one.”

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!!”
