To help provide clear and concise guidelines for business, civic and neighborhood groups to develop the property, the Development Services Department's Project Facilitation team has produced a series of land development process trees.
The process trees illustrate the land development process and offer a drill-down into each individual process.
Understanding the Land Development Process Trees
The first piece of the process trees is a nine-step master land development tree that provides users with an overview of the overall land development process. The master tree is outlined in step-based "swim lanes," allowing users to choose the right starting point in the overall process and anticipate what steps must be completed for their development.
The master land development tree, and each individual process, contains color- and shape-coded steps to help illustrate a path through the development process. Users can view white “double boxed” buttons that provide the user with a more in-depth look at that specific steps process. Staff has also embedded links (purple boxes) which will provide users with extra information about a process, applications and fee information at various points of the process.

Future enhancements
The city is exploring ways to improve its development web pages using these land development process trees. Future enhancements will seek to provide a streamlined, interactive permitting experience.
