Land Use Review Fees and Land Use Review Types
Source: Land Use Review Fees and Land Use Review Types ↗
The length of time necessary for each land use review depends on the procedure type. It also depends on whether or not the initial application contains all the required materials and other factors. In general, a land use review will take from two to six months. Delays may occur when additional materials must be submitted, when a review is placed on hold to address various issues or when a review is appealed.
There are five types of land use reviews. The step-by-step processing requirements are found in the Zoning Code under Chapter 33.730 - Quasi-Judicial Procedures. The assignment of a particular procedure type (I, II, IIx, III or IV) is usually done in the chapter that establishes the review. Please contact Land Use Services for more information about the next steps for a land use review.
