Site Plan Process

Application may be filed by any person with a financial, contractual, or proprietary interest in the property to be developed according to the submitted plan. Applications received by the first day of the month will appear on the Planning & Zoning meeting agenda for the following month in order to meet the public hearing requirements.

Site plans approved at Planning & Zoning Commission meetings may appear on the Board of Aldermen meeting on the third Tuesday of the same month if all required revisions/documentation is received by the deadline for that meeting. The City reserves the right to table any application due to the need for additional research time. Failure to provide all documentation could cause the application to be deemed by City staff as “not received.”
