Get clarity before you build with JDJ Consulting Group. Our Los Angeles feasibility studies outline zoning, approvals, and development options for your project.
Starting a construction project in Los Angeles can feel overwhelming. There are always questions about what’s allowed, what’s restricted, and how long the process will take. That’s why a feasibility study is so important—it gives you clear answers before you commit time or money.
At JDJ Consulting Group, we make this process straightforward. Our feasibility studies break down zoning rules, ordinances, and permit requirements in a way that’s easy to understand. We help property owners, investors, and developers see exactly what can be built and what steps come next.
Rebuilding after a fire? Planning new construction? Exploring expansion? We give you a clear roadmap of your property’s potential and the approvals you’ll need to move forward.
When you hire JDJ Consulting Group for a Los Angeles feasibility study, we perform a complete review of your property and applicable zoning requirements. Below is the scope of work we deliver for a fire rebuild or new development project:
We start by identifying your property’s zoning classification. This sets the foundation for everything that follows. Each zoning designation in Los Angeles has specific rules that govern what can be built.
Next, we examine how your property’s zoning impacts allowable development. This includes density, use restrictions, and site development standards.
We clarify what types of projects are permitted—whether single-family or multifamily, mixed-use or commercial. Understanding permitted uses ensures your plans align with city requirements.
Our team reviews the minimum lot size and required setbacks from property lines. We also analyze lot coverage rules to determine the maximum footprint allowed for your structure.
Building height and FAR (floor area ratio) are often key limiting factors in Los Angeles development. We calculate the maximum building envelope allowed and highlight any restrictions you must consider.
Parking minimums can shape your project’s design. We evaluate parking ratios and determine how they apply to your intended use.
Some Los Angeles properties fall under special zoning overlays or community-specific plans. We identify these added layers of regulation and explain how they may affect your project.
All findings are compiled into a clear, detailed report. This document outlines zoning conditions, development options, and pathways for approval.
Based on zoning, we present several project options. For example, you may have the choice between a by-right design and a design that requires discretionary approvals.
We explain which permits, clearances, or entitlements your project will need—helping you prepare for next steps with LADBS, Planning, or other agencies.
If you are open to incorporating affordable housing, you may qualify for density bonuses, FAR increases, or height adjustments. We include these options in your feasibility analysis.
Clients often come to us with specific questions about what they can build. Our Los Angeles feasibility studies provide clear answers to:
We address each of these concerns directly in your customized feasibility report.
Los Angeles has one of the most complex zoning systems in the country. Small details like an overlay zone, a hillside designation, or parking adjustments can change the outcome of your project. Without a feasibility study, you risk designing a project that is not legally permitted or financially viable.
