Pre-Submission
Pre-Submission Community Meeting
A pre-submission community meeting is required prior to the initial submittal of plans for all new residential development, new non-residential development, and existing non-residential development with a proposed floor area expansion of more than 25%. The pre-submission community meeting is for the developer/petitioner to provide information to the community regarding the proposed initial plan submittal and to allow community residents to ask questions and make comments before the initial plan submittal for the subject property. While the developer/petitioner is encouraged to work with the community to achieve a mutually acceptable solution to any concerns, unless a change is required by the County Code or the Zoning Regulations, the developer/petitioner is not required to change the proposed development in response to comments made at the pre-submission community meeting.
REGISTER TO STAY UPDATED: Would you like to be notified when development is proposed near or around your neighborhood? Use the DPZNotify application to stay updated. When proposed development that requires a pre-submission community meeting occurs in your area, you will receive a notification via email with information regarding the pre-submission community meeting.
