The Strategic Business Unit, a division of Sustainable Development and Construction hosts pre-development meetings to assist potential applicants with planning of a successful development and to help them navigate through the permit process. Services include coordination for development projects, troubleshooting, and problem solving to address issues that may occur during the development process.
These meetings are not meant to offer every detail associated with the development process; rather, a tool for City personnel and the applicant to share information. We want the applicant to understand the next steps of the process, as well as any major concerns and applicable ordinances. This isn't a review meeting; it's an advising meeting.
Staff is available for follow-up after the pre-development meeting, which is a one-hour virtual meeting. At the meeting, staff representatives from the following divisions/departments will be present:
- Subdivision & Platting
- Zoning
- Engineering (Paving & Grading)
- Engineering (Traffic & Transportation)
- Engineering (Water & Wastewater)
- Fire Department
- Building Code
- Landscape
- Other trades, as needed

After the meeting has been held, the facilitator will compile staff's comments concerning the specific project. The facilitator will then forward the comments, as well as the contact information of the staff that attended the meeting to the applicant within five business days from when the meeting is held.
