Curious how other developers and investors handle this. When you're looking at a new property, what eats up the most of your time before you can make a move?
A) Digging through local zoning codes, overlays, and setback rules
B) Waiting days or weeks for city hall / planning departments to reply
C) Figuring out exact density limits and what can actually fit on the lot

A & C can be easily determined by reviwing the local Subdivision Plan and Land Development Plan. I would get a hard copy, go through with a hi-lighter and add tabs for easy reference later. The best way to handle B is to visit the office(s) in person.
