Zoning &
Compliance.
Start with the property. Then work through the zoning, jurisdiction, project type, site conditions, and requirements that shape what you may be able to build.
What we need to know before answering “What can I build here?”
The NBA property assessment is designed to bring together the information that normally lives across multiple government systems, maps, zoning codes, and professional resources.
Jurisdiction
Determining jurisdiction…
Zoning District
Looking up zoning district…
Parcel
Identifying parcel…
The property is only the beginning.
Site & Zoning
These are the first layers we want the NBA system to assemble from the property location.
- Parcel identification
- Jurisdiction
- Zoning district
- Overlay districts
- Land-use information
- Applicable planning resources
Development Constraints
Additional information may affect the feasibility of a proposed project and should be investigated before design or construction.
- Floodplain
- Hillside / topography
- Historic considerations
- Access and frontage
- Utilities
- Other site-specific constraints
The assessment eventually becomes a project roadmap.
Property
Identify the property, parcel, jurisdiction, zoning, and relevant site conditions.
Project Type
Determine whether you’re considering a new home, ADU, addition, workshop, small home, or another use.
Building System
Compare the construction systems and approaches that may fit the project.
Requirements
Assemble the zoning, code, permitting, design, structural, and other requirements that need investigation.
Your property should be the starting point.
NBA is building a system that connects property data, zoning information, project types, building systems, requirements, and the people who can help.
