Our advisors understand the complex regulatory environment in California and employ a multidisciplinary approach to assist clients in satisfying all requirements critical to the entitlement process.  Working in tandem with a client’s planning staff, our team conducts thorough constraints analyses to identify any significant environmental issue encountered during due diligence and prepares a detailed, cost-effective mitigation plan to address it. 

ANA’s Principals have successfully represented numerous projects before City Councils, County Boards of Supervisors, Planning Commissions, Building Departments, Independent Utility Providers, hundreds of neighborhood stakeholder groups and a host of public and private environmental organizations.
