The thing that has really helped me with my time management is the Law of Attraction Planner (https://manifestationplanner.com/optin).

Surprisingly you will see your spouse, financial planner, and investment / asset manager at the bottom of the list.

As an urban planner for many years I would recommend you look at any adopted land use plans in the areas you are looking to invest and/or build. 

After a phone call with the planner, it turned out to be OK.The second obstacle is the property is located in a flood zone border.

What City Planners Want REIs To Know

If the counter level, and senior level planners agree with you and think it is a good project, you'll have an easier time because they support it.This is all developer risk.

Also walk into ( if they take in person meetings these days) and talk with the planners.. in our markets we have whats called a Pre Application meeting.. they cost a few grand.And what you do is have your civil sketch out a basic plan.. 

As an urban planner I naturally gathered as much data as I possibly could and decided on the criteria that I would use to judge a city for "high cash flow" investments.

I think you just need like a Financial Planner or something.
