Current Planning Application Packets

Current Planning administers land use reviews of applications such as site plans, subdivisions, rezoning, conditional use permits, special use permits and variances. Some of the applicable standards that are reviewed in this process include zoning, permitted uses, setbacks, height, landscaping, parking and signs.

Below are applications packets. Included in each packet is the case type checklist of items that are required for submittal, Guide to Development Applications Submittal, Development Application and any additional required documents specific to the case.

• Save all files as PDFs, preferably as one file if prepared by the same individual. Otherwise, attach separate files for each discipline in order to preserve the encrypted digital signatures.

• All drawings must be scalable and legible. No JPEGs or other non-PDF file types can be reviewed.

 

To submit payment for Land Use/Engineering applications, please create or log into your E-Permit Center account. Upon acceptance of the application, you will be assigned and emailed a permit number. You must search this permit number in the upper search bar and hit enter. You will find in the middle of the page a "Payments" tab with "Fees" in the dropdown. Follow the blue link to submit payment (see image below). Once payment is processed, please email the receipt to epermitcenter@adcogov.org. Review of the application will not begin until payment has been verified.
