Site Development

Purpose

Site Development Permits are required for all development except for single-family homes platted on individual lots. These plans include flat work, building footprints, landscaping, drainage, grading, erosion control, utilities, landscaping, and any required park improvements.

The Composite Zoning Ordinance contains rules and procedures for the development of commercial sites and residential sites involving more than two dwelling units per lot. A Site Development application is submitted to the Planning Department Office.

The Site Development application includes:

• Site Plan
• Landscape Plan
• Grading and Drainage Plan
• Erosion and Sedimentation Control Plan
• Utility Plan

A Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) or fee in lieu is required for any project that would generate over 2,000 average daily vehicular trips.

Application

The Site Development Permit Application and Checklist includes a description of all materials and fees required to be submitted to the Planning Department.

Approval

After the review is complete, staff will issue a "Site Development Permit." Once the applicant has completed construction of all required improvements and the City has performed a final inspection, the Planning Department issues a "Certificate of Completion."
