Design Review Application
Application Process, Application Form and Submittal Checklist
.
To initiate the Design Review (DR) approval process, an applicant must first submit a Preliminary
Application (form available separately) to the Community Development Department’s Planning
Services Division (PSD). A meeting is scheduled upon receipt of a completed Preliminary Application
form and packet. At the meeting, the case planner will provide review comments regarding the
Preliminary Application material and will provide a Design Review Application and Checklist with
instructions on application type (major or minor) to be filed. If major DR, then the project may be
processed through the Design Review Panel or administratively. All DR applications are processed
administratively.
Here are the steps to prepare and complete the DR Application form and packet:
Step 1: Submit a completed application form and packet per the submittal checklist starting on page
3.
Step 2: Contact the assigned PSD case planner to schedule a meeting to submit the application
form and packet.
Step 3: Pay the required application fee at the SRPMIC Finance Department located at 10,061 East
Osborn Road, Building A - 1
st
Floor, Scottsdale, Arizona. See attached map on page 10.
Step 4: Meet with the PSD case planner to submit the application form, receipt and packet. Only
completed applications will be accepted.
Once the DR application is accepted, it will be reviewed by PSD and various SRPMIC departments.
The assigned case planner will conduct a review, gather all departmental comments and generate a
set of review comments. A letter with the list of review comments will be issued along with marked up
plans to the applicant. The applicant shall address all review comments prior to resubmitting plans
and provide a response letter addressing each comment. The staff review process may have to be
repeated until the project becomes satisfactory to SRPMIC.
The DRP will approve the application with or without stipulations, deny, or continue the request.
Currently, all major and minor DR project applications are processed administratively and require no
DRP meeting. After approval of the DR application, the applicant will be advised on the subsequent
steps towards final approval and building permit process.
