Building better futures, sustainably

Vision: Develop real estate at a scale and efficiency that will shape earth-positive urban form exponentially for future generations.

SD Planning Solutions was born to provide actionable planning and development work using sustainable strategies that pencil. So often, planners and developers sit on opposite sides of the table, measuring success and significance from a polar lens. SD's broad perspective and expertise in both disciplines set the course for exciting ideas, research, and cost-effective projects to break ground. The goal is to make a path for resilient, earth-positive development projects to succeed.

Led by an experienced land planner and development director with a background in entitlements, real estate develoment, and sustainable strategy, SD Planning Solutions offers end-to-end project leadership from early-stage planning through to delivery.

Shannon Acevedo specializes in helping developers, municipalities, and mission-driven owners navigate complex land use challenges while integrating sustainable practices and development strategies. She has represented residential and commercial clients  in securing entitlements, created site-feasible land plans, and directed multi-million dollar development projects. Shannon combines deep regulatory knowledge with market-driven and research insights to bring high-impact, resilient communities to life.
