The Land Development Manual provides information to assist in the processing and review of applications and establishes requirements for the submittal of applications, including the identification of required fees and deposits. It also establishes development standards and guidelines used in the review of applications. The appendices include a number of manuals that were originally adopted in advance of the Land Development Manual. Each will be formally incorporated into the Land Development Manual at the time future amendments are processed.
