What are the Steps in Securing Site Plan Approval?
For subdivision development and many other development projects, developers must submit comprehensive site plans to the Montgomery County Planning Commission .
Your site plan needs to provide sufficient detail to demonstrate that you have taken zoning and land use requirements into account. Depending upon the size and scope of the project, you may also need to demonstrate the environmental impact of any project you are undertaking.
There are fees associated with submitting a subdivision or land development plan for review, and applications may also need to be submitted to local municipal authorities in addition to the Planning Commission.
As you complete your site plan, some of the different steps you will need to take to secure approval include:
- Submitting an application
- Providing documents and drawings showing heights, setbacks, retaining walls, fences, recreational facilities, lighting, landscaping, commercial buildings, roads, utilities, drainage, and use and occupancy expectations.
- Paying all required fees
- Completion of plan reviews
- Making modifications as required in order to secure approval
At each phase of the process of securing site plan approval, you must ensure that you are in full compliance with all rules and requirements set by the municipality where the development is taking place. You must also understand and comply with rules and guidelines set by Montgomery County and the planning commission.
