Conservation Subdivision and Mixed Use Communities

A core philosophy of Elan Planning & Design Inc. is to practice environmentally and sociably sustainable development techniques beginning with the evaluation of a site through the design of the proposed project. This approach is of benefit to communities, development groups, and businesses alike. Elan believes that the conservation of a site's features such as open space, woodlands and waters, as well as a cognitive appreciation of the site's heritage of uses, be it agrarian, industrial or other, will benefit the character, quality, and sustained financial viability of the development.

Within this realm Elan provides communities with assistance in zoning evaluation and updating, GIS base feasibility studies, as well as design and site development guidelines. Elan offers private developers management of the design and approval process, site design, agency permitting, consultant coordination, and site construction administration services.
