GCPS | Gulf Coast Planning Studio
Southwest Florida land use planning
and zoning consultant
Welcome to your concierge land use planning and zoning consultant for projects throughout Southwest Florida.

My company serves local and regional developers, landowners, and investors navigate the complicated rezoning, land use amendments, development approvals, and permitting processes.
GCPS expertise spans a wide range of land entitlements including due diligence, rezoning, planned developments, comprehensive plan amendments, public hearings, development permitting, master planning, policy writing, neighborhood outreach, violation abatements, and owner representation.
I have nearly 30 years of experience with residential, commercial, industrial, hospitality, mixed-use, infill, and master-planned developments throughout Southwest Florida.
As Lead Planner, I'll be your primary point of contact from concept to approval. I work directly with every client, assembling the right team, managing the process, and keeping projects on schedule and within budget.
As an independent planning firm, we are flexible and nimble and "built" to serve unique local projects where larger national firms are more limited by structure and the services they provide under one roof. We are to able to tailor each project to its unique needs and our local expertise and strong relationships throughout Southwest Florida allow us to provide responsive service and cost-effective solutions.
