Client Reviews
Kaizer’s skill and expertise in facilitating design charrettes for the University Place FBC were critical to successful outcomes for this project. Kaizer excelled in eliciting stakeholder input and community insights while his presentations proved invaluable in helping elected officials and the public understand FBC components. The high quality of his work in University Place and his responsiveness to local needs prompted the neighboring City of Fircrest to engage Kaizer for its own FBC. His work there has been similarly well received.
Kaizer brought a wealth of experience, energy, creativity and vision to South Pasadena’s General Plan/Downtown Specific Plan update. Kaizer was especially effective tirelessly facilitating the community’s understanding of a complex array of issues and their interrelationships, and inspiring productive discussions that generated creative approaches to a variety of issues faced by the City.
West Covina selected RA based on their extensive planning background and creative approach. Kaizer exhibited energetic leadership over a multi-disciplinary team and worked collaboratively with staff and the community. Kaizer consistently executed tasks on schedule. Since adoption, the Plans have facilitated public and private projects citywide.
Kaizer is dependable, creative, and tremendously talented in helping to create, communicate and rethink an existing suburban neighborhood into a sustainable new urban vision.
We chose Kaizer as a consultant for an audit of the Nashville, TN planning department. He came through on time and on budget to produce a value added report of the planning process in Nashville. He provided specific recommendations that were accepted and implemented. He also made suggestions for strategic direction tweaks that proved very valuable. I would be happy to use him again if the need arises.
