About Mark Baker
In 2006, I established Baker Development Resources (BDR), drawing upon the experience, background and reputation I developed as the principal planner in charge of the City of Richmond’s current planning division and Secretary to the City of Richmond’s Planning Commission. BDR is a comprehensive land use planning, permit expediting, project management and entitlement consulting firm that is based in Richmond, Virginia. We offer a wide range of services that are geared toward guiding our clients’ land use projects through the complexities involved in project design and the political and bureaucratic aspects of project approvals. Specialties: Land Use Planning, Project Management, Entitlements, Site Plans/Subdivisions, Project Advocacy, Government Liaison, Permit Expediting
Experience
Owner Land Use Planner Project Manager
Jul 2006 — Present
BDR has performed services for a variety of clients in varying capacities providing full project management or limited specialized services as dictated on a case-by-case basis. BDR has not yet found a project that is too small or too large. Our projects have ranged from small subdivisions, BZA variances and due diligence work to full blown conditional rezonings, major subdivisions, special use permits and community unit plans. BDR analyzes client objectives on a project by project basis and then proactively acts in a manner that best serves these objectives. Project specific tasks may include: due diligence analysis and application of complex regulations; the identification of project specific resources; the formulation of custom schedules and procedures; the provision of project advocacy and government liaison services; management of specialized project teams (engineers, architects, attorney’s, etc); and the production of professional and successful applications.
