Development Review

Meaningful Neighborhood Input

Development Services and CCNA’s Meaningful Neighborhood Input team have updated the review process to include neighborhood input on applications. The association reviews applications, engages residents, gathers feedback, and communicates with city staff, serving as a hub for public comments. Residents’ feedback becomes part of the public record and is considered in reviews.

The process of moving an application through the various reviews and approvals in the City can be quite complex.  Development Services has released detailed flowcharts of the Development Applications process making this complex process a little easier to understand.
