Depending on the type of project, there are some
additional steps that you will need to complete once
you've obtained your development permit.
Subdivisions
Prior to construction, check with your Staff Contact to
see if a pre-construction meeting will be required
Before lots can be purchased or sold, a final plat will
need to be approved by the City and recorded by the
appropriate county. This is a separate submittal
process from the development permit.
Final plats can be approved while construction
activities occur, however they will require "as-built"
drawings and bond or legal surety as supplemental
documentation. Upon the completion of the project, a
final set of record drawings will need be submitted.
Buildings & Structures
Schedule a meeting with the Building Official and the
Building Permit Technician to discuss inspection and
permitting requirements for vertical construction.
Remember, development permits only approve
"horizontal work".
Prior to completion, you will need to submit "as-built"
drawings in order to obtain a Certificate of
Compliance (C of C). This will include the site plans
and the exhibit files shown on the previous page.
Planning Staff will inspect the site to ensure
compliance between the plans/exhibits and the actual
site itself. If the site has no issues, a C of C will be
issued and the building(s) are eligible to apply for their
Certificate of Occupancy from the Building Permit
Technician. If there are issues, the Staff Contact will
send a letter to you detailing the issues or concerns.
From there, Staff will work with you to determine the
solutions to move the project forward to final
completion.
Signs
Any permanent signs that will be added to property or
building(s) require a separate sign permit for the
approval of the design and dimensions of the sign itself
AND a building permit if it requires foundational or
electrical work. Check with your Staff Contact for
more information.
NEXT STEPS

Development permit projects are subject to two (2) separate
check payments, both of which are due upon the receipt of an
application. Fees are set by City Council and may be subject to
change. Check with your Staff Contact to verify fee totals.
The two payments are a Plan Review Fee (toward City's general
fund) and a deposit towards the Development Review Fee
Account, to help pay for contracted services
PLAN REVIEW FEE
The Plan Review Fee is based upon the location, type, and size
of project that is being reviewed.

DEVELOPMENT REVIEW FEE ACCOUNT (DRFA)
Deposit checks for an application shall be placed in the DRFA in
the name of the applicant and are used to pay the fees for the
City's consulting firms assisting in the Staff Review Committee.
If the billable hours from the consulting firm(s) exceed the
initial deposit amount and creates a negative balance, the City
has the right to bill additional hours directly to the applicant.
Once the Development Permit is issued, the City will remit to
the applicant any remaining balance in the account without
interest. The Planning Director shall have final determination
for deposit adjustments, additions, or remittances.
