You must consult with a Central Planning staff member to determine whether or not a site plan application is required. If three or more units are proposed, a major site plan application will need to be filed. The application and instructions can be obtained from Central Planning, Room 112 City Hall. Once the appropriate forms have been completed and plans submitted, the application will be scheduled for a hearing before the Central Planning Board for review and approval or denial.
You must file for construction permits in the UCC Building Division. These permits will eventually be forwarded to Zoning and Central Planning for review for conformity with regulations. Once Zoning/Central Planning stamp their approvals, the permit applications are returned to the Building Division for further processing.

Once the appropriate forms have been completed and plans submitted, the application will be scheduled for a hearing before the Central Planning Board for review and approval or denial.

If your desired use is permitted, you must then consult with Central Planning and complete relevant applications for a site plan review.
