I’m Kendle Anz, founder of Anz Design Studio

I kept hearing the same thing from clients: “I’m not sure what our options are - or if our ideas are even allowed.”

And finding those answers takes time. Manual labor. Phone calls. Code cross-checking.

So I built Zorro.

It automates the same in-depth process I use on every project—delivering faster, more accurate results at a fraction of the cost.

24 hours. $149. No guesswork.

A quick call to the city is not enough.

Zoning’s tricky “ifs, ands, and buts” often surprise you during permitting.

Consider these essential factors before spending money to design or renovate your home:

Specific Lot Type Conditions

Corners, interiors, waterfronts, and through lots all have different regulations.

Main Structure vs Accessory Structure

The main house, additions, garages, sheds, and ADUs have their own requirements.

Garage, Carport, & Parking Requirements

Single-car, 2-car garages, carports, and no garages have varying rules.

Specific Exceptions & Additional Standards

Heights, standards, and variances are based on the district and municipality.

What if you could get all the details upfront to avoid delays or having your design dreams derailed?

Imagine a single report with all the information you need to start designing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Still have questions? You’re not alone. Zoning rules can be confusing — and most people don’t realize how many layers there are until it’s too late. Here are some of the most common questions we get about the report, what’s included, and how it all works.

Isn’t this the same info I can get by calling the city?

No — cities will give you basic zoning numbers about your property over the phone. It does not cover the ifs, ands, and buts. This report checks over 40 zoning code criteria, including lot-specific exceptions, garage-triggered setbacks, and many conditions most people don’t find out until after design and during permitting costing them time and money.

Is this a legal zoning opinion?

This is a planning-level report created by a licensed architect. It’s not a substitute for a zoning verification letter from the city, but it’s designed to help you plan your design strategically and avoid costly surprises early. The property may have additional requirements based on the historic districts, extra overlay district requirements, and HOA regulations.

Can I use this to plan the design for my home or renovation?

Yes — this report is often used by homeowners and designers to inform site planning, layout options, and feasibility before formal design begins. We use this report in house to start every single design project and now are offering it to property owners and other professionals.

Do you include historic districts or HOA restrictions?

No — historic districts and HOA rules are outside zoning code and require special research. If your property falls into one of these categories, additional consultation may be needed.

What happens if my lot isn’t in a flood zone or can’t have an ADU?

Each upgrade provides a clear, code-based confirmation of what’s allowed — and just as importantly, what’s not. Even if the answer is no, your report will explain why, and help you avoid costly design missteps later on.

TESTIMONIALS

What Our Clients Say

“Intelligent & quick”

“Intelligent, quick, and great to work with! We had plans done for a commercial property and residential property. They are super kind and out going. They worked amazingly with our contractors and was quick to make changes if needed. Even the contractors were super happy with the plans. They were super intelligent when it came to the building codes and working with the county. I will definitely be referring them and using them in the future for future projects.”

- Hunter Thomas

"Above and beyond"

“Before working with Anz Design Studio we felt let down and deflated from even wanting to do our design project. Working with Kendle at Anz Design Studio has been amazing! She has gone above and beyond any

expectation we may have had and has gone further with designing not only our ideal addition, but including an extra design to fit our needs, wants, and budget. Now we are elated and excited to see our dreams come to fruition!”

- Ryan & Sonia Waterbury

"Who you want on your side"

“Navigating zoning and building codes is usually a frustrating, time-consuming process—but Kendle makes it simple. She has a rare ability to cut through conflicting information and deliver clear, accurate guidance. What would normally take hours of cross-referencing was handled efficiently and confidently. Her attention to detail and deep understanding of the code saved time and eliminated guesswork. If you need clarity on zoning or building codes, this is who you want on your side.”
