We proudly serve Calabasas and surrounding communities, including Hidden Hills, Woodland Hills, Agoura Hills, and the greater West San Fernando Valley.
Calabasas is where modern luxury meets nature’s calm. With its rolling hills, scenic views, and upscale communities, it’s one of Southern California’s most desirable places to build. But anyone who’s tried to start a project here knows that developing in Calabasas means more than just design and construction. It means navigating one of the most detailed planning and permitting systems in Los Angeles County.
That’s where JDJ Consulting Group comes in.
We help developers, architects, and property owners simplify the process. We guide you through zoning laws, land-use regulations, and permit approvals with confidence and clarity.
Whether you’re planning a new estate, a boutique commercial property, or a multi-unit residential development, we make sure your vision aligns with Calabasas’s standards.
Calabasas has a character all its own — and its zoning reflects that. From hillside development standards to scenic corridor regulations, the city has rules designed to preserve its natural beauty and community feel.
At JDJ Consulting Group, we know those codes inside and out.
We’ve helped clients bring projects to life in Calabasas for years. We work directly with the Community Development Department, Planning Commission, and City Council to streamline approvals and reduce delays.
Our experience means fewer surprises, faster timelines, and smoother communication from day one.
No two sites in Calabasas are the same. A property in the Old Topanga Canyon area comes with very different challenges than one near The Oaks or Calabasas Park. That’s why our process starts with understanding your site — and your goals.
Zoning Review – We identify your property’s zoning designation, permitted uses, and any overlay districts that may affect development.
Feasibility Studies – We evaluate what’s possible on your site before you invest in full design plans.
Permit Expediting – We manage submittals, plan checks, and communication with the city so you don’t have to.
Environmental Coordination – Calabasas requires detailed environmental review for many projects. We coordinate reports, studies, and mitigation plans to keep you compliant.
Stakeholder Communication – Whether it’s the city planner, the architectural review board, or local residents, we help keep everyone aligned.
Our goal is simple: remove the uncertainty from development and replace it with structure, strategy, and results.
Building in Calabasas is rewarding — but not easy.
Between hillside grading restrictions, oak tree preservation rules, and neighborhood-specific design standards, a simple misstep can lead to long delays or costly redesigns.
That’s where having a zoning consultant pays off.
We help you:
Avoid delays by flagging potential conflicts before you submit plans.
Save money by preventing unnecessary revisions or permit denials.
Maximize site potential by identifying all available development options and incentives.
Stay compliant with city, state, and environmental requirements from start to finish.
Our team doesn’t just interpret zoning code — we explain it in clear language so you always know where your project stands and what comes next.
Our clients come to us for one reason: results.
We combine technical knowledge with real-world experience to move projects forward — quickly, strategically, and transparently.
Local Knowledge – We’ve worked extensively with Calabasas city staff and understand the nuances of their planning and review process.
Proactive Communication – You’ll never have to chase updates. We keep you informed every step of the way.
Tailored Solutions – Every project gets a custom plan based on your timeline, budget, and site specifics.
Flat-Fee Pricing – No hourly surprises. You’ll know exactly what to expect.
Hands-On Involvement – We’re not a distant consultant; we’re an active part of your project team.

Working with city agencies can feel like navigating a maze. We help you move through it step-by-step, avoiding common pitfalls that slow down approvals.
1. Initial Consultation and Zoning Assessment
We start by reviewing your property’s zoning, existing entitlements, and environmental conditions. From there, we map out the best path forward.
2. Feasibility & Highest-and-Best-Use Study
We analyze what can realistically be built — including density limits, setbacks, and potential development restrictions — giving you clarity before design begins.
3. Permit Expediting
Our Calabasas permit expeditors handle document preparation, city coordination, and correction responses to keep reviews on track.
4. Variances and Conditional Use Permits
If your vision doesn’t fit existing zoning, we help prepare applications and findings that align with Calabasas’s planning goals.
5. Design Review Support
We coordinate with your architects and engineers to ensure plans meet city standards — from architectural style to landscaping and lighting.
6. Environmental & Agency Coordination
From CEQA documentation to coordination with Los Angeles County agencies, we manage all moving parts so your project stays compliant.
