Land Use and Permitting
A great option for many project applicants is to apply for a Pre-Submission Conference with City staff involved in the permitting process. Project applicants can submit semi-formal information, drawings, or concepts for a potential development to receive staff input regarding:

• Applicable permitting processes (ex: building permits, site plan reviews, short plats, grading permits, etc.)
• Probable requirements to facilitate a proposal (ex: water and sewer utilities, fire sprinklers, street and sidewalk improvements, stormwater facilities)
• Additional studies which may be required (ex: traffic impact assessment, engineered stormwater plan, geotechnical evaluation, wetland delineation, etc.)

Note: The more accurate and detailed your submittal, the more accurate and detailed the information you receive will be.
