Our integrated approach equips clients to plan and develop policies and solutions that positively shape their community’s people, economy, and natural environment.

Environmental Planning Local governments review and evaluate community plans and development projects that shape local landscapes. These commercial, residential, medical, institutional, special-event, and mixed-use projects often face intense public scrutiny and require highly specialized technical expertise. ESA is a leader in preparing state and federal environmental documents and permit applications. Our approach blends sound science and technical excellence, ensuring legal adequacy and support for agency decision-making.

Community Planning Cities, counties and private development interests face ever-changing regulatory, market and public interest challenges as they plan for the future. Successfully navigating these challenges requires seasoned planning practitioners and technical experts. ESA integrates strategic policy, land use, urban design, economic, and environmental expertise so our clients are better equipped to plan, evaluate solutions, and make informed decisions to achieve their goals. Our plans enhance a community’s unique character, and are recognized for their innovation, effectiveness, and understanding of local issues and values. We collaborate with clients to develop environmentally and fiscally responsible plans and projects that clearly map the path from vision to reality to achieve their desired results – plans that can be built.

Transportation Transportation and transit projects face a demanding array of overlapping and competing regulations, environmental issues, stakeholder concerns, and financial constraints. Projects involving Caltrans, WSDOT and/or FHWA are often multiphase efforts requiring technical expertise and practical know- how. ESA provides transportation and transit clients with years of experience navigating CEQA, SEPA, and NEPA, and technical leaders in air quality, noise, biological, and cultural resources. Our in-house, multidisciplinary team develops tailored approaches that are environmentally sound and economically prudent, ensuring successful project implementation, no matter how small or large the project.
