Site Plans in St. Petersburg, FL
Site Plans St. Petersburg | HBDE
St. Petersburg's waterfront properties and downtown development require site plans that coordinate setbacks, utilities, landscaping, and stormwater. From our St. Pete headquarters, we create site plans that satisfy City Construction Services requirements.
Site Plans for St. Petersburg's Waterfront Properties and Downtown Growth
The City of St. Petersburg Construction Services reviews every site plan. They check property lines, setbacks from waterfront and neighboring properties, flood elevations (critical in St. Petersburg), utility coordination, parking and circulation, stormwater management, and landscape. Site plans that lack detail or clarity get RFIs and delays. Site plans that are complete and clear move fast.
HBDE provides comprehensive site plans for St. Petersburg projects. We start with property records, boundary surveys, and flood elevation data. We coordinate setbacks with local zoning, waterfront protection overlays, and historic district requirements. We show every utility, water, sewer, electric, gas, telecommunications. We design stormwater management, landscape, site access, and parking. Our site plans tell the complete story of your development.
From mixed-use projects in the Gas Plant District to residential additions in Shore Acres to commercial buildouts on Central Avenue, we deliver site plans that are complete, accurate, and compliant. Typical turnaround is 1-2 weeks.
Site Plans for St. Petersburg Builders and Property Developers
Complete Utility Coordination
Water, sewer, electric, gas, telecommunications, all coordinated in the site plan. We work with utility companies (or use existing utility maps) to route systems efficiently and avoid conflicts. Your site plan shows exactly how utilities connect to the property.
Waterfront Setbacks and Flood Elevation
St. Petersburg's waterfront requires careful attention to setbacks, buffers, and flood elevation. We research waterfront overlay requirements, mark required setbacks from water's edge or riparian lines, and call out flood elevation for the 100-year storm. Waterfront projects get the expertise they need.
Stormwater and Grading
Florida's flat terrain and sandy soil make stormwater management critical. We design grading, swales, and retention areas to manage runoff and comply with City of St. Petersburg stormwater standards. Site plans show drainage patterns, grading contours, and stormwater features clearly.

Large-Scale Development and Civil Coordination
The Gas Plant District, downtown, and Central Avenue projects are sophisticated. Our site plans handle multiple phases, complex circulation, public realm improvements, and phased stormwater management. We coordinate with traffic engineers and landscape architects.
Landscape Integration
Site plans include landscape strategy, tree preservation, new plantings, hardscape, and outdoor space. We show how landscape works with stormwater, improves neighborhood character, and meets code requirements.
Residential Site Plans and Lot Surveys
Homeowners adding a driveway, expanding a garden, or adding a guest house need a site plan. We show property lines, setbacks, utilities, and the relationship of new work to existing structures and neighbors.

FAQs
What information do I need to provide for a site plan?
Ideally, a boundary survey, property records, and any existing utilities information. If you don't have these, we can research them or recommend surveying. We'll also check with the City of St. Petersburg for flood elevation data and zoning requirements.
Do site plans include utilities?
Yes. Our site plans show water, sewer, electric, gas, and telecommunications. We coordinate with utility maps and existing infrastructure to route systems efficiently.
How do you handle waterfront setbacks?
We research City of St. Petersburg waterfront protection requirements, measure setbacks from riparian lines or mean high water, and call them out clearly on the site plan. If your project is waterfront, this gets special attention.
Do site plans include stormwater management?
Yes. We design grading and stormwater features to manage runoff per City of St. Petersburg standards. Site plans show drainage patterns, swales, retention areas, and grading contours.
How long does a site plan take?
Most site plans are complete in 1-2 weeks, depending on property complexity and available survey/utility data. Waterfront or large-scale projects may take longer, we'll give you a firm timeline upfront.
