sure they stay on track.
Comprehensive Plan Development

implementation plans to set the stage for the right development in your community.
Zoning Ordinance Update
Are your regulations giving you the control you need without discouraging desirable development?
Andersen Planning Consultants can help you simplify and restructure your ordinance so that it fits
your needs.
General Plan Updates
Been putting off a General Plan Update? Andersen Planning Consultants can put together and
manage a team that will make it happen while keeping you in the driver's seat.

procedures? Need someone to get your policies into a usable format? Andersen Planning
Consultants can help you and your staff get organized!
Community Outreach and Facilitated Problem Solving

staff-level problem solving sessions to large community forums. Let us help you bring
stake-holders together in a constructive environment to air issues and find common ground.
REDEVELOPMENT
Interim Department Management
Just started your redevelopment agency, or need an interim manager while you fill a recent
vacancy? Jennifer Andersen of Andersen Planning Consultants can step in until a permanent
appointment is made.
Redevelopment Project Management
Have a redevelopment project that you need to get off the ground? Andersen Planning
Consultants can help you develop and issue a Request for Qualifications and/or Request for
Proposals, work with you to evaluate the results, and take the lead in DDA Negotiations, strategic
planning and development of in-fill properties within your Redevelopment Project Area.
Facade and Commercial Rehabilitation Program Development
Redevelopment funds have been used by many communities to develop facade and commercial
rehabilitation programs, but developing and managing these programs can be difficult and time
consuming. Andersen Planning Consultants can help you work through the process and tailor an
effective program that fits your needs and your budget.
Redevelopment Plan Formation and Amendments
Andersen Planning Consultants can manage the formation process for new plan areas or help
you amend existing redevelopment plans.
Five Year Implementation Plan Development
Five Year Implementation Plans are a State requirement, but, when written and formatted correctly,
they can be much more. Andersen Planning Consultants can ensure that your Five Year Plan is
not just another document that gathers dust. We will make it a helpful tool for guiding decision
making, tracking progress, and helping the community understand and be more comfortable with
Agency activities.
Town Center Revitalization
Determining how to turn your historic commercial town center around is a community affair,
requiring input from not only your planning, redevelopment and economic development staff, but
also your engineering, maintenance, code enforcement and recreation departments, business
organizations and the community as a whole. Andersen Planning Consultants can bring the
needed professional experience to the table to help facilitate this discussion, and develop an
implementable plan that will address critical concerns and place you on the track to success.
Building Re-use
Redevelopment Areas often have one or two key properties that are well-loved by the community
for their historic significance, but have defied the market's ability to renovate or reuse. Andersen
Planning Consultants can help you explore development and reuse options for these properties
that will forward your redevelopment goals.
Community Outreach and Facilitated Problem Solving
Andersen Planning Consultants is experienced in facilitating meetings ranging from small
staff-level problem solving sessions to large community forums. Let us help you bring
stake-holders together in a constructive environment to air issues and find common ground.
Organizational Development
Finding it difficult to train new staff because you have never had the time to develop written
procedures? Need someone to organize your policies into a usable format? Andersen Planning
Consultants can help you and your staff get organized!
