Test the concept

Can we build six stories here?

One question can touch more than one section of the code. Keep the base district, the overlay and the proposed use together.

Alder Reach municipal code

MU-2 district · fictional municipality and code

text · §18.24.050

Building height shall not exceed sixty feet or five stories, whichever is less.

Your concept

6 stories

District maximum

5 stories

text · §18.62.040

Development within the mapped creek overlay is subject to the riparian setback in addition to the base district requirements.

  1. 01

    Start with the district

    MU-2 permits mixed-use residential, with a maximum of sixty feet or five stories.

  2. 02

    Add the overlay

    The creek rules apply as well. A permitted use does not remove the extra setback.

  3. 03

    Bring the question to planning

    The report shows the sections behind the flag so the development team can decide what to investigate next.

The app

Six stories need further review

The base district caps height at five stories. The creek overlay also constrains the east side. Take both sections to planning before relying on the concept.

Questions

What people ask about zoning check.

Can our team check the source behind an answer?

Yes. Extracted values and answers carry source citations, so your team can read the passage behind them before acting.

Can we change the questions the app checks?

Yes. Tell the Assistant what you need. It can change workflows and apps, with the changes shown for your approval.

Do we have to build the app ourselves?

No. We can set it up around your process and hand your team an app ready to use. Your team can change it later or ask us to.

Is our data used to train models?

No. Your documents and results are never used to train a model, and a data processing addendum backs that.

Can it run in our own cloud?

Yes. Strive runs in our cloud, or in your own VPC on AWS, Google Cloud or Oracle Cloud, or on your own Kubernetes cluster.

Which document-heavy job would you hand over first?

Bring one process you want to improve and the information behind it. We build the first version with you in the session, so the first thing you see is your own work, running.
