SITE PLANNING & YIELD STUDIES

site planning and yield studies help developers evaluate whether their development goals are feasible for a property. These studies assess applicable zoning requirements, including setbacks, parking ratios, allowable uses, building height, and density, and determine how those requirements affect overall project size and viability.

A yield study typically identifies the number of dwelling units, parking spaces, and residential, commercial, or retail uses that can fit on a site while prioritizing the client’s goals.

Process:

1. Understand project and client goals

2. Evaluate site location and zoning requirements

3. Determine parking requirements and their impact on residential yield

4. Diagram site design and building massing

5. Deliver a yield study package, typically including zoning-compliant site design options, general unit counts, approximate unit sizes, and parking counts.
