Introduction
At conceptual review or preliminary design review, you received information to help you prepare for your formal application. Once you address those issues to the best of your ability, you are ready to prepare and submit your formal application for development review.
In your conceptual review or preliminary design review, your Project Planner identified the type of development review application you need to submit. New applications for development review are categorized as follows:
- Pre-application Hearing (City Council)
- Annexation and Zoning
- Rezoning
- Overall Development Plan (ODP)
- Project Development Plan (PDP)
- Minor or Major Amendment
- Basic Development Review
Development Review Fees Engineering collects a transportation development review fee (TDRF). This covers Engineering, Transportation and Traffic's review of your project. For more information visit fcgov.com/engineering/dev-review.php.
Current Planning collects a separate development review fee which covers all other departments’ review of your project. See the fee schedule for more information at fcgov.com/developmentreview/applications.php. More detailed info on full development fees, including building permit fees, is available at fcgov.com/building/fees.php. Project Development Plans (PDPs)
Project Development Plans (PDPs) are the most fundamental and common development review process.
A PDP is the preliminary set of plans for projects as small as a building change use and as large as a housing subdivision, shopping center or office park complex. The goal of the PDP process is to establish specific uses of the land; the layout of landscaping, circulation and building location(s); the design of the building(s) and lighting; the layout of utilities and public improvements; and draft plat, if applicable.
The review of these plans culminates in a public hearing at which the hearing officer or Planning and Zoning Board may approve, approve with conditions, or deny the project proposal. It is expected that approximately half of the total design work will be completed prior to the hearing—enough to show that there are no fatal flaws with the proposal but not so much that extraordinary effort is put into the design before entitlement. The remaining half of the work is done after approval in Final Plan Review, described in Step 6.

Using the submittal requirements and checklist at fcgov.com/developmentreview/applications.php, create and assemble what you need to submit. Each item on the checklist is explained in detail in the submittal requirements list. Ensure that you have the proper number of copies of each item and that all plans are folded properly (illustrate this). The standard number of copies on the checklist is required for a new application submittal. Once the project has been to a staff review, your Project Planner and Project Engineer will customize a revision routing sheet checklist for you and provide it with your staff review comment letter. Feel free to contact your Project Planner if you have questions about submittal requirements.
Items must be submitted as separate documents because not all departments need to review all of the items you submit. For instance, the post office needs to review your site plan but not your landscape plan, and water conservation staff needs to review your landscape plan, but not your site plan. If you have any questions about combining items or about whether a requirement is applicable, contact your Project Planner first. Incomplete submittals will not be accepted or will be held until complete, so be sure to contact your Project Planner if there is any question about the submittal requirements.
Once we receive your submittal at the Development Review Center, it is routed to all City departments and outside agencies that will review it. These include the reviewers that were present at your Conceptual Review or Preliminary Design Review plus any other appropriate departments and agencies for individual review.

Sign Up for Pre-Submittal Meeting
Once you have made a formal Development Review submittal, you should sign-up for a pre-submittal code review meeting with Building Services. A pre-submittal code review meeting is offered for commercial or multi-family projects but not for projects that are solely single-family residential. Similar to conceptual review, the pre-submittal meeting is a free City service to assist builders and developers by identifying building code plan review concerns prior to formal submittal of plans for building permits. At the pre-submittal meeting, City Plan Review staff will offer comments and answer questions on your proposed project.
Pre-submittal meetings can be scheduled for Tuesdays through Fridays at 10 am. There is no application form needed. A typical pre-submittal meeting will last between 30-60 minutes. Please bring the project's site plan and floor plans that are still in the design/development stage. There is no approval or denial of proposals associated with the pre-submittal meeting. Topics discussed at the meeting typically include type of construction, allowable area, distance to property lines issues, fire-rated construction and accessibility concerns. A copy of the meeting notes will be emailed to you for future reference. To schedule a pre-submittal meeting for your project please call 970-416-2341.
