Helping homeowners and developers build confidently in exclusive Hidden Hills neighborhoods
Hidden Hills isn’t your typical Southern California city. It’s a tucked-away enclave where nature, luxury, and privacy blend into something rare. With its winding roads and large estate lots, this gated community offers developers and homeowners both a dream and a challenge. Every square foot in Hidden Hills is protected by strict zoning, design codes, and environmental standards.
At JDJ Consulting Group, we help clients move through these complexities with confidence. Our team of land use consultants and permit expeditors specializes in turning ideas into approved projects.
Whether you’re building a custom home or exploring land development opportunities, we handle the details so you can focus on your vision.
Hidden Hills has always been about preservation. It is about preserving open space, rural aesthetics, and the quiet lifestyle that residents value. But that doesn’t mean new construction or remodels can’t happen here. It just means they must happen thoughtfully, with care and expertise.
Every project, from a simple addition to a multi-acre equestrian facility, must align with:
City and county zoning ordinances
Environmental and tree preservation policies
Grading and drainage standards
Design review requirements
For property owners unfamiliar with these layers of regulation, the process can feel daunting. That’s where JDJ Consulting Group steps in. We make the process clear, structured, and manageable—turning regulatory red tape into a defined roadmap.
Every development in Hidden Hills begins with an idea—a vision of what a property could become. But translating that vision into reality requires more than design. It demands strategy, timing, and knowledge of local regulations that aren’t always obvious at first glance.
Here’s how we make it work:
Before we talk about forms, zoning, or deadlines, we listen. What are your goals? Are you expanding a family estate, building a guest house, or preparing a property for resale? Each project has its own purpose and pace, and our job is to align with it.
Hidden Hills is governed by strict codes. Our team dives deep into parcel data, zoning codes, environmental overlays, and deed restrictions. We identify potential roadblocks early—before they slow you down.
Once we know the lay of the land, we create a step-by-step strategy. From site feasibility to design review and permit submission, every move is planned to save you time and minimize revisions.
Permitting isn’t just paperwork—it’s communication. We work directly with city departments, inspectors, and reviewing agencies to keep your application on track. Our established relationships with regional authorities help us fast-track approvals while maintaining full compliance.
Transparency is everything. We provide consistent updates and clear timelines so you’re never left wondering where your project stands.
That’s the JDJ difference—efficient, transparent, and proactive project management.
You might wonder: “Why can’t my architect or contractor just handle the permits?”
In most cities, that might work. But Hidden Hills is not “most cities.”
This is a community built around low density, equestrian living, and landscape preservation. Its development involves around many layers of oversight that can slow down projects if not managed carefully. For example:
Site grading requires both city and county approval.
Tree removals trigger environmental review.
Setback and coverage limits vary depending on parcel history.
Neighbor notifications can affect design changes and project timing.
A misstep here can cost weeks—or even months—of delays. That’s why our Hidden Hills consultants bring both technical expertise and local familiarity. We’ve guided clients through everything from hillside grading plans to complex remodels.
We don’t just file permits—we manage strategy.
At JDJ Consulting Group, we see every client relationship as a partnership. When you work with us, you get more than consultants. You gain an advocate who understands what’s at stake: your investment, your time, and your peace of mind.
