Early Zoning Standards Review allows proposed projects or sites to be reviewed for compliance with the Zoning Code prior to applying for a building permit. An applicant may have a proposed project and submit a site plan with elevations. Alternatively, an applicant may receive a summary of applicable development standards for a site without a specific development proposal or proposed site plans.
Required?
 Early Zoning Standards Review is optional. However, it is recommended for large and/or complex projects to:
- Ensure development standards are met;
- Identify any possible land use reviews; and/or
- Determine whether the Community Design Standards can be met for sites in the Design 'd' overlay zone.
Submittal Requirements
