Land use and policy consulting
About Us
I provide comprehensive land use planning and policy consulting services to developers, property owners, government agencies and land use attorneys. I guide clients smoothly through every phase of the land use entitlement process by navigating complex regulatory frameworks and fostering strong relationships with local jurisdictions.
Land Use Entitlements & Permitting
I manage the complete lifecycle of the land use application process for industrial, commercial, and residential developments. From initial strategy to final approval, I handle application preparation, direct coordination with local jurisdictions, and regulatory compliance. My expertise also includes managing complex land divisions, zone changes, and comprehensive plan amendments to unlock land development potential.
Litigation Support & Expert Testimony
Operating alongside land use attorneys, I provide critical technical support for legal teams. This includes preparing highly defensible land use applications and acting as the liaison with local government agencies. Additionally, I provide authoritative expert land use testimony for trials and hearings, bringing practical planning insight to complex legal proceedings.
Public Policy Consultation
Drawing on a deep understanding of Oregon's complex regulatory frameworks, I provide strategic consulting and policy analysis for organizations and government agencies. I bridge the gap between public policy goals and development realities, ensuring that land use regulations are practical, enforceable, and legally sound. My expertise includes advising on statewide and regional policy initiatives, particularly those related to the complex siting, regulation, and long-range planning of energy facilities and critical infrastructure.
Policy Facilitation & Stakeholder Engagement
Crafting effective land use policy often requires aligning the interests of diverse stakeholders, technical experts, and public agencies. I provide expert group facilitation services to guide the development of complex regulatory initiatives. My experience includes leading a multi-state, inter-agency Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) on energy facility siting impacts and working with nonprofit, regulatory, and development groups to align stakeholders on policies that induce the development of innovative housing types throughout the state.
Client Testimonials
“Daisy Goebel stepped in to help the Haley & Aldrich team meet the needs of our client on a tight schedule, leading a technical advisory committee focused on an important renewable energy topic in Oregon. She seamlessly took on the role of facilitator and worked independently and directly with our client to understand expectations, keep the process moving, and ensure the desired outcomes and recommendations were delivered on time. Daisy’s initiative, responsiveness, and ability to quickly take ownership of the effort were instrumental in meeting our client’s needs.”

Daisy’s communication and follow-up were prompt and professional, her analysis was thorough and resourceful, and she was able to distill complex topics into digestible format for litigation preparation and her expert testimony.
