Planning Commission
A Step-By-Step Guide
INTRODUCTORY MEETING WITH PLANNING STAFF - Staff will assist the applicant by explaining the
parcel split process and provide site information, review the application and inform that a survey is
required.
SUBMISSION OF APPLICATION - Applicant will submit request to the Zoning Administrator for review.
Fee must be received before any requests are processed.
APPLICATION/SITE PLAN IS INCOMPLETE – Staff will prepare a notice of findings/corrections
that will be sent to the applicant or review in person.
APPLICANT SUBMITS REVISIONS – Staff reviews for completeness.
APPLICATION/SITE PLAN IS COMPLETE - Staff will place the request on the next available Planning
Commission Agenda for consideration.
PLANNING COMMISSION REVIEW – The Planning Commission will review the request for compliance
and make a recommendation to City Council.
CITY COUNCIL REVIEW – After recommendation from the Planning Commission, staff will prepare a
Council agenda request form and memo for the next City Council meeting.
EQUALIZATION DEPARTMENT – If approved, Staff will prepare a letter to the County Equalization
Department that authorizes the parcel split and/or combination. A copy of the letter and supporting
documentation will be sent to the applicant.
FINALIZE REQUEST – The County Equalization Department processes the request and it will be processed
for the next tax roll.
Requests for parcel splits can only be approved if the request meets the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance.
The resulting split cannot create a parcel that does not meet the minimum dimensional requirements for the
district (street frontage and parcel area). If there are structures on the parcel they must meet the side yard
and/or rear yard setback as applicable.
It is the owner’s responsibility to verify that there are no issues/objections to the request by any
persons, firms or corporations having a legal or equitable interest in the land. The City does not
conduct a title search for the property.
