Learn how our redesigned development review process improves the experience of dealing with the City
The City's Engineering Department has assigned project managers to improve customer service and streamline the development review process. Project managers will coordinate the review for engineering infrastructure applications.
Rezoning applications
Submissions related to rezoning applications have been consolidated into 4 stages. Below you with find a checklist with the requirements for each stage.
Submit all the necessary documents at each of these stages to your assigned project manager. After receiving all your documents, the project manager will circulate your application to the appropriate City staff and respond to you.
Once you complete the 4 stages, you'll move to the 'Prior to Construction' phase outlined in the table below.

- Coordination of design and construction, including third-party utilities.
Refer to the latest engineering design criteria manual and supplementary specifications and detailed drawings.
- During construction
- Developers must:
- Provide inspection services, including written weekly reports.
