Once an application and fees are submitted, the application will be uploaded into our online data base. It will then be assigned to a Planner, sent to appropriate departments for comments, and a response to the applicant will be received within 30 days.   The application may need to be revised and resubmitted to address the comments, or it may be able to be approved and returned with Conditions of Approval.   In addition to a completeness review, the application may also go through environmental and design review.  The project may require a public hearing at a noticed Planning Board meeting and/or City Commission meeting.
