Four Corners Planning Incorporated

is a planning consulting firm that was established to create and preserve great places. We specialize in community visioning, and turning visions and plans into codes.  Four Corners Planning develops comprehensive plans, future land use plans and area plans; and development regulations (zoning, subdivision and unified codes) for cities and counties. We also provide current planning services for client communities with limited or no planning staffs.

 

Unified codes are a specialty of Four Corners Planning.  Each of the Four Corners Planning’s unified codes is a modern, fully-illustrated, land use regulatory system, which combines subdivision and site development standards, and development review procedures into a single integrated document. 

 

All of our land use regulatory documents are custom-designed to address unique community needs and preferences with respect to such important issues as development review procedures and standards, including environmental protection, residential protection, land use compatibility, affordable housing strategies, building design and placement, road and street, trails, connectivity and use-specific standards.  We are well-versed in smart growth, new urbanism, sustainability and green building issues. In short, Four Corners Planning helps communities determine their ideal future condition and maximize livability within the built environment. 

 

Established in 1993, the firm has provided planning services to a wide variety of public sector clients in nine states, including small towns and cities, rural and urbanizing counties.

 

Four Corners Planning assists the private sector with wetland delineation services and 404 permit approvals, and devises strategies to achieve local development approvals, consistent with local plans and codes.  Private sector representation is not available within our active, public-sector client communities.  

 

Four Corners Planning is affiliated with Duncan Associates (www.duncanplan.com), a national planning and growth management firm specializing in plan implementation with unified development codes, infrastructure finance and impact fees.
