See how to research a local project

Follow a historical case from Plano, in our Dallas–Fort Worth coverage, from the city's records to its source packet, and note the questions to take back to the city or your client.

Read the transcript

You are a real estate broker, builder or land buyer, and a client asks: what is being proposed around this area? P&Z Radar helps you investigate planning and zoning records in the places it covers. Let’s use Plano as an example. We’ll find a case, inspect what the record says, and identify the questions worth taking back to the city or your client.

First, check coverage. A city name alone is not enough: look at the source status and when its portal was read. This tells you where to start and where gaps may remain. P&Z Radar works from captured public documents, so the timing and detail depend on the city’s records. Once you know your market is represented, you can make the search much more specific.

On Projects, choose Plano. The table gives you case identifiers, locations, types and available details. You can use the other filters to focus your research further. Notice the label: this public page is a historical archive, not the full stream of upcoming cases. It is useful for seeing the kind of information available and understanding activity already on file before you decide whether monitoring is right for you.

Open a case and read the fields in context. Who is named? What use is proposed? Which location and hearing date appear? Where is the source packet? Those are useful inputs to a client conversation or a research brief. A staff recommendation is not the same as a final decision. If a summary and a status disagree, go to the source and resolve that difference before repeating either as a fact.

For a broker, this might raise a question about activity near a listing. For a land team, it might identify a proposed use worth investigating. For an engineering firm, it might show an applicant or project type to research. The next step is not to assume the land is available or the project approved. It is to carry better questions and a source link into the next conversation.

If that research is useful, the free city trial is the next place to look. Its page explains the recent cases and follow-on updates you can evaluate without a card. Review the city you select and the current terms before starting. Begin with one market you know well, compare the records with the city’s own source, and judge whether this saves you useful research time. That is a practical way to test P&Z Radar.

Why these records matter

Notice rarely reaches you. Where a city mails notice, it usually goes only to owners within a set distance of the site — often a few hundred feet, though the rule varies by state and city. Own land across the road or sit under contract nearby and you may be outside it, with no letter on the way.

The window can be short. Many cities post agendas close to their legal minimum, so a case can be filed, heard and decided between two weekly portal checks. Among the cases we processed before their hearing, the median advance notice is 5 days — a median across that population, not a promise for every case or city.

What that looks like: land going multi-family a block from your next closing; a neighbour assembling next to your holdings; a staff report recommending denial on a tract you’d buy at the right basis; a specific-use permit on the corner your listing faces.

More than a filing alert

Follow a case, not just a filing

First observation, hearing scheduled, continued, advanced from Planning & Zoning to Council — each stage as we observe it on the agendas.

Know which deals are in trouble

We flag cases where the packet’s staff recommendation is denial, or that keep being continued. A switch sends you only those. That is a staff recommendation or a scheduling signal, not an official denial: we read agendas, not votes.

Watch your own land

Add properties you own or have under contract and pick a radius. Anything filed near one is reported with its distance and the property it’s next to — whether or not it matches your keywords. Cities mail notice only to owners within a short statutory distance of a site, which varies by state; our default ring is 1,000 feet.

How it works

  1. We check the portals. Each covered city’s P&Z agenda page, repeatedly; the coverage page shows when each was last read successfully. Special meetings and revised agendas are read when the portal lists them.
  2. The packet is read for you. The cases our reader supports become structured data: location, acreage, current and requested zoning, petitioner, owner, hearing date, and the staff recommendation where the packet states one. Fields the packet omits stay blank.
  3. You get only your matches. Set counties and keywords — “multi-family,” “SUP,” a competitor’s LLC, a road corridor. We email you when a case is processed, and nothing when it doesn’t match.

This replaces checking dozens of portals by hand and reading packets that run to hundreds of pages; a match reaches you as a short email once the captured packet is processed. Packets beyond our size limits are read as a bounded prefix.

Who it’s for

Builders and development companies, brokers, land acquisition and assemblage teams, civil engineers and planners — and anyone following planning and zoning.

Builders and land acquisition teams

Rezonings and SUPs with acreage, requested zoning and petitioner as the packets list them, when the packet is captured — not when the sign goes up. A proposal is not an approval, and a staff recommendation is not a vote.

Brokers pitching listings

Know what’s moving around the property: case numbers, hearing dates, staff recommendations where stated.

Civil engineers & planners

Filings, what each city’s staff recommends, and how long items sit between stages. Outcomes are decided in minutes we don’t collect, so we won’t tell you what passed. Pull the same data by API and MCP.

Data center intelligence

Data centers are the largest land, power and construction decisions most cities will see this decade, and they surface first in the same public record as every other project: a rezoning or specific-use request, a site plan, a substation or transmission item on the agenda. P&Z Radar reads those filings and records each project’s stage and next public decision as the packets state them, linked to the packet.

The result: a searchable record of proposed campuses by metro — who is filing, where, what is requested, the staff recommendation where the packet states one, and when the commission and council meet — reviewed before publication. Track the projects that matter to you and get a short brief when something changes.

1 reviewed project in Tampa Bay today; 31 across 7 metros; 2 reviewed policy items (ordinances, text amendments, moratoria) on the policy watch. Each project is counted once from its reviewed records. These include historical proposals and requests to permit data-center use; the count does not establish committed development or construction.

What the section tracks

  • Proposals and site plans — case, parcel, acreage, petitioner and requested zoning, as filed.
  • Power, water and land — substation, transmission, water and road items filed with a project, as the packets describe them.
  • Decisions — first observation, hearing scheduled, continued, advanced to Council; the staff recommendation where the packet states one.
  • Community response — public comment and opposition items on the agenda.

For site selectors, utilities and suppliers, brokers and land teams, and local officials. A filing is a proposal until the commission votes and the site is permitted and built; we say what the record says and no more.
