The firm has successfully completed numerous environmental impact reports (EIRs), specific plans, and other environmental and urban planning programs for cities and counties throughout Northern California. Private and quasi-public clients have included real estate developers, public utilities, medical centers, colleges and universities. All professionals in the six-person office have masters degrees and extensive professional experience in urban planning. The office is committed to direct principal involvement on a day-to-day basis on all its projects, which has resulted in highly satisfied clients and substantial repeat business.

As urban planners with broad experience in general and specific plan formulation, the office is able to combine planning, design, and environmental impact assessment skills to provide CEQA documents which are highly responsive to local development review needs and policies. Wagstaff and Associates views the CEQA compliance process as an effective community planning tool, with significant benefits to both lead agency and applicant. The firm's urban planning strengths have been effectively applied in all of its CEQA compliance programs. The office also offers special skills in visual analysis and urban design, and is often contracted by public agencies and prime contractors to address specific urban design and visual impact issues.

Wagstaff and Associates' work is guided by two principles: first, that study recommendations are realistic and implementable; and, second, that study findings are effectively presented through a clear and concise organizational style, good graphic design, and skillful public presentation.
