“Sometime late 2018 I approached J.B. Anderson Land Use Planning primary to help support The Linde Group in the re-zoning of a property where The Linde Group proposed to install a carbon dioxide liquefaction plant in Keyes, CA. Apart from the re-zoning we also retained the services of J.B. Anderson for the land subdivision and related processes through the Stanislaus County. I simply searched online and started the discussion with J.B. Anderson without knowing what to expect only to later realize that I indeed approached the perfect entity for our needs. It was long process with the county but J.B. Anderson through their expertise and thorough knowledge and understanding of the all segments of Land Use planning made the experience totally stress free. The staff are highly competent and very professional. I strongly recommend J.B. Anderson Land Use Planning for any Land Use and related planning needs.”

“Gen2’s focus is on utilizing societal resources efficiently and improving the environment by converting waste materials into fuels, electricity, and hydrogen in a close-loop, energy-efficient process. The company has selected Stockton, California for the installation of its patented, first-of-its-kind innovative equipment and process.
To proceed, Gen2 had to apply with the city for an Administrative Use Permit, conduct a complete Design Review, and prepare a CEQA document due to the unique nature of the process, the plastic materials being converted, and the resulting diesel fuels being produced.
The J.B. Anderson team was engaged to write the Environmental Checklist document and worked closely with Gen2 to address city requirements. Despite challenges such as multiple changes in city personnel and new environmental regulations, the J.B. Anderson team’s expertise in CEQA rules, hard work and dedication and relationships with city department heads helped navigate the process as smoothly as possible. Over a period of almost twelve months, the J.B. Anderson team’s extensive efforts led to Gen2 being found exempt from further CEQA requirements, enabling the city to approve and issue the Use Permit and sign off on the Design Review.
The J.B. Anderson team was dedicated and great to work with. Importantly, they helped us obtain approval for a first-of-its-kind, complex project and we highly recommend them.”
