Development Applications and Permits

Land Use Application (PDF)

Application Calendar

The Planning Division holds "pre-application meetings" with developers and residents to discuss proposed projects before submitting official Land Use or Building Permit Applications. These meetings help City Staff understand the project, outline necessary steps, and answer questions from the development team (architects, engineers, etc.). 

To schedule a meeting, contact a Planner who will coordinate with other City departments and arrange a room at City Hall or a virtual meeting. Bring any concept plans or questions you may have. 

The Planning Division accepts land use applications for development projects, easement vacations, encroachment agreements, and home occupations during the monthly application window. Avoid early or late submissions, and call ahead to set up an account in the plan review software. Refer to the how-to guide for specific submission requirements. 

City Staff review plans and provide comments within 10 days. Applicants can respond or revise their plans, after which staff will prepare a report for the Planning Commission, which meets on the fourth Thursday of each month. The Commission then makes recommendations to the City Council, which generally meets on the second Tuesday of the following month to approve or deny proposals.
