TestFit for City Planners

Drop a proposal on the parcel and see if it complies with your code. Setbacks, height, use, and density are checked automatically against the ordinance.

Hours cross-referencing site plans against the code, checking setback by setback, tracking variances by hand. Every application eats a full day.

Test policy scenarios on any parcel in minutes. See what current zoning yields, what upzoning would produce, and where missing middle housing fits.

Every scenario is another week of hand-modeling in SketchUp. Council gets one option to react to, not a range to choose from.

Attach 3D views, buildable-area calculations, and side-by-side scenario comparisons to every staff report. Give commissioners the visual context they need to decide.

Text-heavy staff reports with static site plans and no financial context. Commissioners approve or deny based on a two-dimensional understanding of a three-dimensional decision.

Model scenarios live in front of council, the commission, or the community. Answer "what if we upzoned this?" in the room, with real numbers.

Every question becomes a two-week callback. Public meetings run on your best guess and a promise to circle back at the next meeting.
