During the Design Development phase, you and your development team prepare detailed plans for your public works improvements. These engineering plans include details about your development site, landscaping and structural features, street lighting and traffic signals, street profiles, stormwater and drainage improvements, and final sewer design.

Design Development Meeting - Before approving your Design Development plans, the City requires that you meet with public works permitting staff to review and refine your final project design based on your approved concept plan.  The meeting is set approximately five (5) weeks from acceptance and intake of a Design Development submittal. 

Design Review Fee - The City collects a fixed fee to cover this review phase and required Design Development meeting.  The amount of the fee is set by the City at the end of Step 2 when the City approves your concept plans. At the successful end of the Design Development phase, the city will sign off on your plans and approve the project to move to Final Plan review phase.
