Brownstein Honored by Central Coast American Planning Association with 2025 Planning Excellence Award
Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck is pleased to announce that it was recognized by the Central Coast American Planning Association with the 2025 Planning Excellence Award for its advocacy and educational initiatives addressing the housing crisis in California’s Central Coast, including San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara and Ventura counties.
The firm has demonstrated planning excellence through its leadership on various housing and land use-related boards, contributions to multiple housing projects and efforts to promote regional collaboration in addressing the Central Coast’s housing needs. Through initiatives like the 2024 Annual Central Coast Gathering Housing Panel and the Santa Barbara Annual Housing Conference, Brownstein has provided platforms for meaningful conversations on housing challenges and solutions. In addition, Brownstein has provided resources and tools—such as client alerts and CEQA News You Can Use—to deliver clear and accessible explanations of complex legislative changes to the public.
