Step 3: Development Review

1st City Review

The review team and referral agencies will review your project documents to ensure that your project is following required planning, engineering, and emergency standards.  If you have questions regarding any of the comments you receive during this process, contact your designated planner to discuss or schedule a meeting if necessary.

Need to Know: Be Prompt and Thorough! Responding, based on the project timeline, to reviewer comments and resolving ALL issues thoroughly will facilitate movement through the development review process.
