SAGE + STONE PLANNING GROUP

---

From zoning updates to complex CEQA entitlements, we assist agencies and applicants in navigating land use and environmental review processes with confidence. Our commitment ensures that every project is brought over the finish line, backed by our expertise in planner training.

With over 25 years of experience, we provide clear, defensible CEQA and NEPA documents that are tailored to your project and community needs. Our environmental review reports are designed for clarity and ensure project success, while also supporting effective land use planning and planner training.

 This training series combines practical project analysis, real-world planning fundamentals, and the latest tools to streamline CEQA and environmental review. Participants gain the skills to interpret zoning and general plans, spot red flags in applications, prepare defensible documents, and communicate effectively with applicants, agencies, and the public—building confidence to handle the full scope of planning practice. 

Many planners have strong analytical skills  but struggle to communicate clearly in writing, particularly when it comes to CEQA and environmental review processes. We offer targeted planner training for public agency planners who need support in translating complex analysis into professional staff reports, memos, and findings related to Land Use. Invest in the writing skills of your staff to keep essential resources and revenue in-house.
