PERMIT PROCESSING
We review building permit applications ranging from new construction to minor additions or interior improvements for commercial and residential properties.
DISCRETIONARY CASE APPLICATIONS
Discretionary case applications require additional review time. Conditional Use Permits may be required depending on the Planning Area and zone in which a proposed use will be located. Depending on the type of application, it may be reviewed by the Zoning Administrator or the Planning Commission. Public hearing items considered by the Zoning Administrator require up to 8 weeks to process, while public hearing items considered by the Planning Commission require up to 16 weeks to process. Subdivision matters will be processed within 50 days of acceptance of filing.
