Scope and Content

Collection contains development guides over several years.

The Office of Development Coordination has three major roles in encouraging development in the city.  First, the Office served as a coordinator, assessing projects, identifying potential problems, opening lines of communications as appropriate.  Second, the office was responsible for assisting and mediating when projects experienced serious issues in the review process.  Third, the office conducted citizen outreach and education on the workings of the review process.

These development guides were designed to provide the public with an overview of the entire process and identify what circumstances will require a particular review.  The development review process was a comprehensive set of reviews on the following areas of city work:

• abandonment/private license
• building permit
• certificate of appropriateness
• construction approval
• development impact
• escarpment permit
• flight overlay variance
• floodplain fill permit
• subdivision
• thoroughfare plan amendment
• zoning change
