The Zoning, Preservation & Development Committee is responsible for reviewing for the commissions input, applications relating to private sector requests for development projects that require additional permitting oversight. These include requests before the Zoning Commission, Board of Zoning Adjustment, and the Historic Preservation Review Board.

The committee meets on the third Monday of each month, unless it is a holiday then it moves to Tuesday that month. If you have a project that needs to be reviewed by the committee you should submit any drawings, renderings or related files no later than 10 business days before the meeting is to occur to be considered for that meeting. Requests received after will be reviewed at the next meeting.
