Experience

Spangle Associates offers a wide range of planning services. We bring pragmatic approaches to clients' needs and are sensitive to the unique conditions of each project. Thanks to our years of experience, we know what has to be done and how to get it done. For example:

• Since 1964, we have provided planning services to the Town of Portola Valley. We review projects and prepare plans and regulations to help the town achieve its objectives for sensitively sited and designed development.
• In Union City, we coordinated a specific plan project for a site with multiple owners, hazardous materials and an uncertain freeway alignment. We were trusted with this difficult and politically sensitive project because of earlier successful work for the city.
• The City of Newark's general plan update was on its third consultant when we were retained to untangle the project. We created a work plan, determined what was missing and how to fill in the gaps, and shepherded the final draft through public hearings until the plan was adopted.
• For Metro, the regional government of the Portland metropolitan area, we developed approaches for the use of earthquake hazard maps in local and regional planning.
