Legislative applications require an action (approval or denial) by the Board of Supervisors. These applications are processed by the Department of Planning and Development and require public hearings before the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors. Typically, these applications involve land use matters such as zoning changes, housing density increases, and applications for new or modified uses.

REZ – Rezoning Application; minor proffer amendments

CUP – Conditional Use Permit

Public comments may be provided to the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors for legislative applications during their applicable public hearing.

Administrative applications such as site plans and subdivision design plans are processed internally by the Department of Planning and Development. These types of applications pertain to uses that are permitted by-right within a specific zoning district. Administrative applications do not require public hearings, adjoiner notifications, or action by the Board of Supervisors.
