Zoning, jurisdiction practice, precedent projects, deal economics, massing and entitlement pathway — analyzed together, in days instead of months, before you commit capital.
Why it matters
Get a defensible read on yield, cost drivers and approval risk while the deal is still a decision — not after months of consultant spend.
Rules are only half the story. AutoSitu pairs the adopted ordinance with how the jurisdiction actually reviews and approves projects like yours.
Planning, civil, financial and design questions are answered against the same site model, so the numbers, the massing and the pathway agree.
Capabilities
Use, density, FAR, height, setbacks, lot coverage, open space and parking are resolved into the buildable envelope for the parcel — with the governing sections cited so your team can verify every number.
What this city expects in practice: applicable overlays and specific plans, the discretionary steps that typically apply, the studies usually requested, and where similar projects tend to lose time.
Comparable approved developments nearby — what was built, what was requested, what was conditioned or reduced — so your assumptions are anchored in outcomes rather than optimism.
Buildable envelope becomes options: unit or program mix, floor plates, efficiency, parking strategy and site circulation, each tested against the same constraints.
Yield feeds a transparent pro forma view — revenue program, cost drivers, fees and exactions, timeline assumptions — so you can compare options on economics, not just square footage.
By-right versus discretionary, the approval bodies involved, likely conditions, required studies and a realistic sequence with the milestones that drive your schedule.
Topography and grading implications, access and frontage obligations, utility availability and tie-ins, stormwater and detention demands, easements and existing-condition constraints.
Everything lands as one structured, sourced feasibility report — ready for an investment committee, a lender, a seller or your design team, with the reasoning visible.
How it works
An address or parcel is enough to start. Add a survey, title report, program targets or existing drawings and the study sharpens around them.
AutoSitu assembles the regulatory and physical picture for that specific jurisdiction and parcel, then states the envelope it will design inside.
Massing, program and parking options are generated and scored against yield, cost, approval risk and schedule — and you can steer the assumptions.
A structured feasibility report with cited requirements, precedent evidence, financial view and entitlement pathway — plus the open questions worth resolving next.
Coverage
The same study spans the questions that normally sit with four different consultants — and keeps them consistent with each other.
