Application Review Timelines

Standard Application Review Timelines

Development applications are assigned a project manager and distributed to the City’s Development Review Team (DRT) within two business days of a complete submittal to the Planning and Community Development Department.  Applications are assigned a review timeline based on the complexity of the project type, as listed in the table below. The policy of the DRT is to provide all applicants with review comments within 30 calendar days of application receipt, whenever possible. Concurrent applications will track with the application requiring the longest review timeline. The Planning Director may extend review timelines when application volume exceeds staff capacity. Please contact us with questions. 

Expedited Development Review Timeline
Standard Application Review Timelines do not apply to Expedited Review projects. Projects that are eligible for Expedited Development Review must meet criteria for eligibility in CDC Section 702.M and will follow an Expedited Review Timeframe as determined through the process outlined in DRT Policies and Procedures.
