Zoning Pre-Application Process
As part of its efforts to improve the development review process, the Department of Regulatory and Economic Resources Development Services Division now requires that certain applications follow a pre-application process. This process provides applicants with initial comments that can assist them with their final submittals. Applicants should review the information below for guidance with pre-application submittals and tracking.
A new web application allows the public to check on the process status of their pre-application package.

Pre-application meetings are held every Thursday between 2 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. To request a pre-application meeting all materials must be submitted no later than the Wednesday of the week prior. Each meeting will be 30 minutes in duration.
