What We Do
Full-Spectrum Land Use Services
From raw land identification to final disposition, STORMCHASE handles every phase of the entitlement process. We are not generalists — land use is all we do, and we do it across every county in Florida.
Complex Rezoning
We manage the full rezoning lifecycle — from pre-application strategy through public hearings, board presentations, and final approval. We've navigated contested rezonings in every type of Florida jurisdiction.
Entanglement Resolution
Deed restrictions, easement conflicts, environmental overlays, historic designations, and code violations — we identify, analyze, and resolve the legal and regulatory knots that stall development.
Land Acquisition
We locate and evaluate undervalued or misclassified parcels across Florida, assess their entitlement potential, and guide clients through acquisition with full due diligence support.
Land Disposition
Once entitled, we position and market your asset to the right buyers. We understand what developers and investors need to see in a rezoned parcel and present it accordingly.
Land Use Consulting
Need a second opinion on a troubled site? We provide strategic consulting on land use feasibility, regulatory risk assessment, and entitlement roadmaps for developers, attorneys, and investors.

How We Work
The STORMCHASE Process
Every engagement follows a disciplined, proven methodology. We don't improvise on complex land use matters — we execute a strategy built on deep Florida regulatory knowledge and decades of relationship capital.
Site & Situation Assessment
We begin with a thorough review of the parcel, its current entitlements, surrounding land uses, applicable comprehensive plan designations, and any existing encumbrances. No assumptions — only facts.
Regulatory Strategy
Based on the assessment, we develop a precise regulatory roadmap. This includes identifying the optimal rezoning pathway, anticipating opposition, and sequencing applications for maximum efficiency.
Agency & Stakeholder Navigation
We engage directly with county planning staff, boards of commissioners, environmental agencies, and neighboring stakeholders. We know the players, the politics, and the process.
Application & Hearing Management
We prepare, submit, and shepherd all applications through the approval process — including staff reports, public notices, board presentations, and any required revisions or appeals.
Entitlement & Closing
Once approvals are secured, we ensure all conditions are documented, recorded, and transferable. If disposition is the goal, we position the entitled asset for sale and support the transaction to close.
About STORMCHASE
Built for the Deals Others Walk Away From
"The most valuable land in Florida isn't the easiest to entitle — it's the hardest. That's exactly where we operate."
STORMCHASE was founded on a simple observation: the most profitable land deals in Florida are the ones with the most regulatory complexity. Most consultants avoid them. We seek them out.
We are a specialized land use consulting firm operating exclusively in Florida. Our team combines deep knowledge of Florida's Comprehensive Plan framework, county-level zoning codes, and the political landscape of local government to move projects that others cannot.
Whether you're a developer facing a contested rezoning, an investor holding a misclassified parcel, or a landowner trying to unlock the value of your property — STORMCHASE provides the expertise and the relationships to get it done.

Representative Matters
Results in the Field
The following matters represent the type and complexity of work STORMCHASE handles. Details have been generalized to protect client confidentiality.
Hillsborough County
Comprehensive Plan Amendment + Rezoning
Agricultural to Mixed-Use: 180 Acres Entitled in 14 Months
A Tampa-area developer acquired 180 acres of agricultural land with no clear path to residential entitlement. Neighboring property owners had organized opposition. STORMCHASE developed a phased Comprehensive Plan Amendment strategy, negotiated a development agreement with the county, and secured approval over two hearing cycles.
Outcome
180 acres entitled. $4.2M value uplift at disposition.
Orange County
Entanglement Resolution + Disposition
Clearing a 30-Year Deed Restriction to Unlock a $12M Sale
An investor held a 40-acre parcel encumbered by a 1991 deed restriction prohibiting commercial use. The restriction's grantor had dissolved. STORMCHASE coordinated with title counsel, pursued a quiet title action, and simultaneously negotiated with adjacent landowners to secure a release — clearing the path for a commercial rezoning and sale.
Outcome
Restriction cleared in 8 months. Parcel sold at $12M.
St. Johns County
Land Acquisition + Rezoning
Identifying and Entitling a Misclassified 90-Acre Parcel
STORMCHASE identified a 90-acre parcel in St. Johns County that was misclassified as Rural/Agriculture despite being surrounded by approved residential development. We acquired the parcel on behalf of a client, filed a Comprehensive Plan Amendment, and secured PUD approval for 320 residential units.
Outcome
Acquired at $1.1M. Entitled and sold at $6.8M.
