Commercial Permits and Rezoning
We know how to expedite commercial permits for your clients in an efficient way. Keepers Land Planning works with several builders and property managers expediting their permits. We have several clients that are loyal to us as a result of our honesty. We have a reputation with the City of Austin as being honest with the planners in the City so they reciprocate that respect. We are able to get approvals for our clients. We do physically meet with the City and submit applications. We are selective about the clients we work for.
Our team has over 9 years of experience with rezoning and commercial applications. When a new business needs their certificate of occupancy they come to us for help. For instance, a new tenant is moving into a leased space and the previous tenant had a different land use. More specifically if the space use is changing from financial services to retail the City of Austin requires a change of use. The City of Austin has several departments that a change of use is processed through. We have relationships with the City of Austin that have taken us years to build and we are typically able to cut the processing time in half. Once step one is accomplished then we file for the commercial application that is 7 business days.
We know the planners that review commercial permits for approval. We receive the building permit for each client in a timely manner. As professionals, we are honest, upfront, and take on projects that fit within the City of Austin’s requirements. Keepers Land Planning has a reputation for honesty and integrity. We communicate upfront to the client if the project is permittable so we take on projects that are achievable.
As an expeditor, it is our responsibility to process your application and verify the drawings meet the cities’ standards. We then coordinate any comments the cities return to us and make sure the designers respond to each comment properly. We keep the city accountable for their timeframe as well until the building permit is approved. Once approved we then hand over the building permit to you and your general contractor and our job is done.
