Site Development Plans

The LUDR is currently undergoing review and revision. One of the changes will be to rename Section 4.4 from Site Plan Review Procedure to Site Development Plan (SDP) approval and permitting process. Development Services coordinates the plan review and approval process for all land development activities in the City other than single family and duplex construction on existing platted lots. Projects are reviewed by staff in the following disciplines, as may be required for the particular project review: Planning, Horticulture, Fire, Site Development (Engineering, Surface Water Management and Transportation), Utilities, Customer Billing Services, Real Estate and Surveying.

The review is administrative with typical review cycles averaging about 8 (eight) business days from submittal to receipt of staff comments. Once all of the staff comments have been adequately addressed a project approval letter is issued followed by notification that the permit is ready to be issued.
