Smart developers know the value of a good due diligence effort, which should only be done by local experts who know where the bodies are buried inside the city’s zoning and permit records department. Yet for some reason, reckless developers are relying on out-of-state PZRs (Planning & Zoning Reports) as their sole resource for proper due diligence. In this episode we discuss why local knowledge is best when researching a site and identifying unforeseen landmines that are not captured by PZRs. Withey Morris’ George Pasquel and Stephanie Watney share two great examples of when reliance on PZRs resulted in missed fatal mistakes and ultimately delayed projects.
