What this stage means

Clear decisions before the next stage begins.

Entitlements cover the public approvals that establish whether and how a proposed use can proceed. Requirements vary by property and jurisdiction and may involve zoning, site-plan review, utilities, access, stormwater, environmental review, public meetings, or related agency coordination.
