Here you will find several dozen applications processed by the Planning Division for various types of land use/development requests. These application forms have been sorted and categorized for your convenience. We have provided these documents in Adobe Acrobat .pdf format. You can download a free Acrobat viewer here. Click on the links below to access the application(s) you want. For information on filing fees, please refer to the Fee Schedule for 2011-2012 (effective on August 15th, 2011).

NO PARTIAL PAYMENT

Full payment of fees is required for a complete application. Because some fees, such as the Public Noticing Fee, are not calculated until the application appointment, customers who bring in pre-written checks are encouraged to also bring a credit card or an additional blank check to ensure payment of the correct fee amount.

Department policy requires full payment of fees at the time of application submittal. For the convenience of customers who arrive with pre-written checks that do not cover the complete cost of the application, staff will accept the application subject to the following conditions:

• No work will begin on staff review of the application until all fees are paid in full.

• If full payment of fees is not received within 14 calendar days of application submittal, the application will be considered void and staff will initiate a refund of all funds received minus the record retention fee. At this point, a new application and full payment of fees will be required to proceed with a project.

Coordinated Expedited Review.  Click here for more information on the optional, fee-based Coordinated Expedited Review for Planning applications.
