Planning Applications and Permits

Review Process

Project submittals are typically scheduled for a two-week review depending on the complexity of the project and the current queue, with the exception of the first round of review requiring three weeks of review time. Keep in mind that all Land Use Applications require different submitted items as requested in the application requirements and in the Scoping review meeting. Be aware that additional items may be requested during the review process. An incomplete application submittal may delay the review process, and a review will only be scheduled after all items are completely submitted.

Formatting

Submittals such as site plan, plat, constructions plans, landscape plan, and so forth, should be 24"x36" size documents. Other documents, such as the legal description, project narrative, reports, and studies should be in 8½“x11” size documents. All documents submitted to the City of Greeley should be in PDF format.

Resubmittal/Approval

Resubmittals for active cases are done electronically and should be submitted in the same manner as the original electronic submission. Review comments and/or redlines will be emailed back to the email address provided on the Land Use Application. If there are any questions, please contact the assigned planner/engineer to the application. Applicants can also schedule a meeting with the review team to discuss outstanding comments. The resubmittal should contain the entire document that was revised.

Scoping Review

A Scoping Review provides an opportunity to submit a conceptual development proposal to the city and receive a single round of detailed written feedback from city staff. This review process assigns a case planner and development engineer to review the customer's questions, and conceptual plans regarding a specific, planned project. This process is an excellent way to identify all applicable City of Greeley Code and Criteria requirements related to a development proposal. The goal is the customer has a clear idea of whether they'd like to proceed with an application, if they need to seek further consultation from a private vendor (planning firm, engineer, or surveyor), or if they're ready to proceed.

The case planner will schedule a 1-hour meeting to review the specific requirements and answer questions for customers to develop an application for development review. At the Scoping review meeting, staff will provide details regarding the required application and accompanying application checklist. To obtain an application submittal checklist for a proposed project, routine in nature, contact the Planner On-Call. The response time is typically 2-3 weeks after application submittal.
