Site Development Plans Approved the First Time
When Do You Need a Site Development Plan?
When you make major changes to a property or build something new, the local government needs to approve a site development plan (SDP) first.
Whether you’re looking for an extensive major site plan or trying to qualify for a conditional use permit, creating a detailed SDP is essential. There are many moving parts, permits, timelines, contractors, and factors to consider, but having a specific development plan in place ensures that the project goes smoothly.
Other services that fall under this umbrella:
- documenting an annexation
- generating an official development plan for municipalities
- obtaining a conditional use permit (CUP) so that you can stretch the zoning of your property (known as a special use permit under certain jurisdictions)
Site Development Plans Designed Efficiently
Brightlighter’s civil engineers work alongside you to determine the best way to move your project forward. We inspect your paperwork, make sure things are within code, and submit the plan within your requested timeline.

The Brightlighter Site Development Plan Process
Site Visit & Evaluation
You want accurate measurements, someone who knows the area, and a trained eye assessing your land. This step helps our engineers grasp key factors. They need to know the environmental conditions, traffic density, and current utilities in the area to start designing.
Not all plans fit into the parcel provided, and sometimes what’s going on underground completely changes the trajectory of the project. We will review your project objectives and inform you upfront if you can develop your site in the way you want. All before you break ground or set firm dates.
Design & Oversight
You’re in the driver’s seat on this project, but we’re here to merge our industry with your vision. We’ll talk about your land and explore innovative ways to reach your goals. At Brightlighter we take care of the technical stuff, render imaging of your project to make it feel real, and craft a site that you’re excited to develop.
You want everyone on the same page during a build. With all the contractors, utility companies, ordinances, permits, and costs of equipment, keeping everyone informed and accountable is essential.
Brightlighter provides the layout and site development plan for contractors and municipalities to follow throughout the course of the project. We also visit your site to ensure compliance.
Submission & Approval Process
Incorrect paperwork can derail a build. You might face denied applications, long review waits, fines, and even project do-overs. This can waste both your time and money.
We provide results that are specific to your needs.
- Proper permitting and local code and development ordinance research.
- Data analysis on the project, land, local objectives, and surrounding infrastructures.
- Site cost estimation.
- A site development plan.
- Applications and forms that are filled out correctly.
- A layout for contractors and local municipalities to work from.
Brightlighter ensures your paperwork is correct the first time and your plans filed in an accurate and timely manner.
