The Planning Division staff serves the Board by providing zoning and environmental expertise, code information and written reports. To offset staff and service costs, fees are charged to the applicant. The Planning staff will be your direct contact when dealing with your application request. Your contact with the Planner will provide that information. The zoning code will be referred to by the staff member for your information.
Fees vary by type of application.
A handout listing all fees is available from the Planning Division. A typical application will entail fees for the specific application, public noticing as required, environmental review and County Recorder processing as needed. Fees cover the costs of staff time and applicable services, including preparation of reports, public noticing, postage and document processing. The typical deadline to submit an application is approximately one month prior to the meeting of the Design Review Board. A handout listing submittal and meeting dates is available from the Planning Division.
