Public Plans & Special Districts
CDS has extensive experience dealing with public clients on issues pertaining to growth and development. We regularly assist the staff of cities, special districts, counties, and state goverments as well as civic groups and not-for-profit organizations. Our relationship with these groups provide CDS with an understanding of the unique needs and schedules of public projects. Our services include the following:
|
Support for Special Districts (TIF/TIRZ, MUD, MMD, etc.)
CDS has assisted with the creation, reporting, and development of several types of special districts, including municipal utility districts (MUDs), tax increment financing zones (TIFs), management districts, economic development zones and other special districts. CDS is often involved in the financial analysis dealing with tax revenues or special assessments.. |
Development and Redevelopment
CDS has been involved in hundreds of projects which have dealt with the development and redevelopment of land, from single sites to multi-thousand acre projects. This requires an advanced understanding of all aspects of the real estate, construction, and finance industries. Having this expertise allows CDS to provide meaningful answers and solutions. |
Downtown Revitalization
Want to improve the life of your downtown? CDS can help. Our skills include providing inventories of existing occupied and vacant residential, retail, office, institutional and hotel space. Knowing what's there is the first step. We can then help you analyze future demand and figure out what development or redevelopment opportunities that are available. We can also help with park design, streetscape planning, wayfinding, building design, development standards, and multifamily rental guidelines. CDS also has considerable experience in identifying the incentives (unique to your location) that are most likely to attract developers, residents, and businesses.
