Event
Small Firms Workshop: Land Use Entitlements and CEQA Overview
Friday, June 26th. 8:30-11:30am
The NEW Helms Design Center
8745 Washington Boulevard
Culver City, CA 90232
Successfully navigating the development process in California is notoriously challenging, time consuming, and expensive ESPECIALLY FOR SMALLER FIRMS that have to rely on doing it all in-house!
Architects are often tasked with finding a project team that can usher a project through the required entitlements and environmental clearance process pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). It is impossible to learn everything there is to know about land use entitlements and CEQA in a brief program, but our speakers will present an overview of both subjects so, as architects, you will have a better understanding of how projects are shaped by these requirements and how project schedules are affected.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
1. Ministerial permits and discretionary approvals What's the difference and when is CEQA triggered?
2. How do I establish a successful entitlement strategy and know the players involved?
3. What does CEQA require and why is it so complicated?
4. What do I need to consider when getting a project through the CEQA process?
