Project types
Where the approvals get complicated.
VALITER is built for projects in the $2M to $20M range, especially outside city limits, where the rules are spread across counties, utilities and special districts.
What we cover
Typical patterns by project type.
These are common patterns, not rules for every site. Each report checks the actual parcel.
Industrial flex and small-bay
Larger footprints raise the fire flow requirement. Three-phase power and truck access often set the schedule.
Read moreStorageSelf-storage
Impervious cover limits can decide how many units fit. Drainage and building lines shape the layout.
Read moreResidentialSmall multifamily
Zoning, parking and compatibility rules inside cities. Water and wastewater capacity everywhere.
Read moreResidentialBuild-to-rent
Often a plat or replat, which can trigger road reservations, utility easements and current drainage rules.
Read moreCommercialRetail pads
Driveway spacing, turn lanes and traffic study thresholds can move the access point and the order of approvals.
Read moreOutside city limitsUnincorporated land
No zoning, but county subdivision, septic, floodplain and fire rules still apply, plus any city ETJ rules.
