- Building additions/expansions and/or accessory structures greater than 200 square feet or associated with the above project types
- Expansion or installation of parking lots with five or more off-street parking spaces
- Parking lot reconstruction
- Change of occupancy permit (as determined by the Planning Division)
- Private roads with private utilities
- Private utility structures, greater than 200 square feet (gas, electric, telephone, communication) and communication towers.
- EV Charging Stations
- Cellular communication towers and associated equipment
- Any project as deemed necessary for review by the City Engineer and/or Director of Community Development due to unique circumstances.
- Utility connection(s) to commercial, industrial, and/or multi-family projects
Twinhomes (two-family dwellings) require a site plan through a separate process administered by the Engineering Department.
