Process Description

During the formal application process, applicants submit plan sets to City staff for review and analysis. Various community meetings and public hearings are then held to gather input and feedback from stakeholders. If the application proceeds through the process, it is reviewed by the City's committees and commissions. During any stage of review, the proposal may be revised based on staff and community feedback. The City Council has the ultimate authority to approve or deny applications during public hearings.

A portion of this project was not constructed and is subject to another application. Go to the 1816 Worthington Circle Multi-Family Project for more information.
