Land Use Solutions

What Land Use Solutions does

Land Use Solutions, LLC is a privately-held Texas consulting firm founded by Michele Haussmann that provides land use and zoning entitlement services to real estate developers in the Austin and San Antonio metropolitan areas. The firm operates through three integrated service lines: Due Diligence & Zoning (site analysis, rezoning proposals, permitting guidance); Rezoning and Land Use (comprehensive plan amendments, neighborhood plan amendments, variances, vested rights, historic preservation, PUDs, TODs); and Infrastructure (public-private partnerships, development agreements, right-of-way vacation, thoroughfare plan amendments, condemnation settlements).

The underlying deliverable is human expertise applied to municipal entitlement processes — there is no proprietary software product, API, or technology platform. The firm's competitive position is built on the Principal's 29 years of municipal and law firm planning experience and her established relationships with city/county leaders, planning staff, neighborhood associations, and community organizations across Central and South Texas. The team of four named professionals supports project execution from due diligence through Land Use Commission and City Council public hearings.

Revenue is generated through professional service fees on tailored consulting engagements for real estate developer clients. The customer base consists of enterprise real estate developers active in office, multifamily, retail, industrial, mixed-use, civic, and transit-oriented development — including Brandywine Realty Trust, H-E-B, NRP Group, Stonelake Capital, Endeavor Real Estate, and Trinity Asset Management. The firm is LLC-structured, founder-controlled, has not raised external capital, and operates without a public pricing schedule.
