About

“John was great to work with and guided us through the City’s entitlement and approval process. He helped us navigate the regulatory obstacles and secure a very successful outcome with the City.”

“Throughout the planning and design phases of the SVCW RESCU Program, JHS Consulting provided oversight of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and environmental permitting consultants, providing a single point of contact for SVCW staff and design consultants to assure compliance with the requirements of CEQA and regulatory agencies.

With JHS’s leadership, SVCW developed the RESCU projects to have limited environmental impacts, resulting in a strong environmental impact report (EIR) and positive interactions with permitting agencies. In April 2017, the Commission certified the EIR for the RESCU Program and adopted a mitigation monitoring plan (MMP) detailed in the EIR.

During the project's construction phase, JHS Consulting provided oversight to ensure compliance with the EIR and permits, advised on the potential impacts of any proposed changes to the design, and ensured that the MMP was followed.”

"With our winery project at an impasse with the City, John was brought in to help our team bridge the disconnect and navigate the data gaps for the planning and environmental process. With his collaborative style, John worked closely with our team and the City to resolve the outstanding issues and helped bring the planning entitlement and CEQA environmental review process to a successful conclusion for our business."
