CORE Development Services Co-Founder John Koos To Share Insight At PCIA Wireless Conference

(I-Newswire) September 9, 2010 - Brea, CA – John Koos, co-founder of CORE Development Services, has accepted an invitation to share his experience at how to successfully navigate projects through the increasingly difficult public planning process at the upcoming PCIA Wireless Infrastructure Show, October 4 – 7 in Hollywood, Florida.

Presented by PCIA, The Wireless Infrastructure Show is the premier annual showcase for industry leaders. The 2010 event is expected to draw more than 1,500 executives from the wireless industry and policymakers from all levels of government. Mr. Koos has been asked to speak during a session entitled “Navigating the Danger Zone – Succeeding in the Zoning Hearing.”

CORE Development Services is California’s top wireless site development firm, offering an integrated suite of site acquisition, planning and design services that simplify and accelerate the planning and development process.

“I am honored to accept the invitation to participate in the 2010 Wireless Infrastructure Show,” said Koos. “Our comprehensive approach to wireless site development is designed to help clients get to market faster while reducing risk and minimizing costs. I welcome the opportunity to discuss the peace of mind that comes from knowing that your project will be finished on time, and on budget – especially important in today’s economic climate.”

Mr. Koos began his career as a professional urban planner, working for the City of Orange, County of Orange, Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority, and the Southern California Association of Governments. Prior to co-founding Core Development
Services, he applied his knowledge and experience to the wireless industry at Whalen & Company, where he served first as the leading entitlements manager and then senior project manager, overseeing a multi-disciplinary team of professionals managing site acquisition through construction.

Over the past decade, clients have turned to Mr. Koos when seemingly impossible land use projects needed approvals. He has also rescued projects heading for denial and transformed them into approvals, including many high profile projects in the City of Los Angeles and the City of Santa Monica. Additionally, John has been instrumental in working with city staffs to modify municipal codes, including the zoning codes of Los Angeles, Colton, Buena Park, Anaheim and Tustin. Consensus building with affected communities, identification of particular jurisdictional nuances, and long-standing personal and political relationships set Mr. Koos apart from the rest.

Mr. Koos currently serves as the Chair of the City of Brea Planning Commission. He previously served as a City of Anaheim Planning Commissioner from 1998 to 2003 (Chairman in 2001), the Orange County Transportation Authority’s Citizens Advisory Committee from 1999 to 2003 (Vice Chair, 2001-2003) and successfully led the $111 million school bond campaign for the Anaheim City School District in 2002. Mr. Koos is also a member of the Orange County Public Affairs Association and holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Urban and Regional Planning from California State Polytechnic University, Pomona.
