to top Where to Submit the Application:
All of the applications listed above must be submitted to
the Planning Department at the public information counter in person. We cannot accept documents mailed or shipped to us because often the counter planner will want to personally question the applicant (or representatives) and/or will want to go over the application to ensure that the submittal package contains the required documents. It is not necessary to make an appointment. If necessary, you can review project files on record to see what a typical application contains.
