Submittal Deadlines

A pre-application meeting is required prior to submittal and thus the desired submittal deadline.  The meeting will address concerns regarding the type of submittal, deadlines, submittal procedures, fees, and required plans/documents.  Requests for pre-application meetings can be made through SagesGov.

  • The final approval of a site plan application that corresponds with a rezoning application will be scheduled concurrent with the 2nd reading of the ordinance.
  • Pursuant to Part III of the Land Development Regulations (LDR), Chapter 2, Article I, Section 4, certain uses which qualify under the economic development guidelines or which are designed in a sustainable manner may be eligible for expedited review under the Expedited Development Review Program.
  • Only those proposed land use map amendments / rezonings that involve a planned development zoning district require review by the DART (Development Application Review Team).

Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map (FLUM)  Amendments 

(pursuant to F.S. Chapter 163.3184)

Comprehensive Plan FLUM amendments are subject to expedited state review unless they involve a use of 50 acres or fewer, in which case they qualify as “small-scale” amendments and are not state-reviewed for compliance prior to adoption.

For a non-“small-scale” Comprehensive Plan FLUM amendment, the first City Commission public hearing constitutes a transmittal hearing prior to its transmittal to the State Planning Agency (SPA) and reviewing agencies. A Comment Letter from SPA must be received by the City within 30 days of receipt of amendment. Thereafter, the adoption hearing will be scheduled. Contact the Planning and Zoning Division for further information regarding the timetable.

Site Plan will proceed to City Commission for approval concurrent with final reading of ordinances for Rezoning and Land Use amendments.
