Site Plan Review

Pursuant to Section 64 of the Zoning Ordinance, a site plan application is required to aid the City in determining the conformity of a proposed building, use, or structure with specific provisions of the Zoning Ordinance as adopted by the Board of Aldermen.   There are two levels for site plan review:  Administrative and City Plan Commission.  The chart below describes the process for site plan review depending on the size / scale of the project.
