Site Plan

A site plan is a detailed graphic document that shows how a site will be developed.  Approval of a site plan is required for:

  • New multi-family projects (any structure with three or more units)
  • Commercial projects • Industrial projects • Institutional projects
  • 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.
