Application Procedures

Please consult the Development Department before submitting any applications. This ensures that the department is aware of the application and that all application requirements have been met.

Once the completed application form is received, it is reviewed by Development Department staff and the resulting analysis is provided to the BZA for their consideration before making a decision. The application only comes before the BZA once and the decision by the BZA is final.
