• Projects subject to 311 Notification that include:
  • New Construction;
  • Any vertical addition of 7 feet or more;
  • Any horizontal addition of 10 feet or more;
  • Decks over 10 feet above grade or within the required rear yard;
  • Cannabis uses
• All Formula Retail uses subject to a Conditional Use Authorization;
• Community Business Priority Processing (CB3P); 
• Projects in PDR-1-B Districts subject to Section 313; and
• Local Program ADU(s) that will be constructed under a cantilevered room or deck in the rear yard.

The Project Sponsor may opt to have a Planning Department Facilitated Pre‐Application Meeting instead of a meeting on or proximate to the proposed project site.
