Project Consultations

Urban Design Consultation

Project Consultation meetings are a free service offered by the Planning and Development Department. During a Project Consultation you can meet with staff to discuss a proposed project, ask questions, and learn more about any regulations or codes that might apply to your project. We may also be able to provide you with tools to meet the requirements or offer design alternatives that meet community standards and achieve your goals.


Project Consultation meetings are required before submitting an application for a phased project (to be submitted in phases) or a development with multiple structures on one development site.
