A Development Plan (for properties with a standard zone designation) or PUD Permit (for properties with a PUD zone designation) is the process by which proposed development is reviewed in detail for compliance with the city’s development standards and/or the PUD Zone Document.

  • Any commercial or industrial development on vacant property
  • Commercial/industrial additions of at least 5,000 square feet or comprising more than 50 percent of the floor area of an existing building
  • Any multi-family dwelling
  • Any mobile home park
  • Any development where more than one principle building will be on a single lot
  • Any development intended for a combination of residential and non-residential uses
  • Any civic or institutional use, except range lands, public lands, parks or minor public utilities
  • Any substantial change in use of a property that results in special or unique circumstances as determined by the city
