Development Review Process

Procedure

In an effort to provide effective service to developers and contractors, as well as existing and prospective businesses, the City of Danville has an existing Development Review Process. This simplified procedure will eliminate the need for the developer to meet with the various City departments and agencies. This process is applicable to industrial, commercial and large residential projects.

  • The applicant will be provided with copies of appropriate development guidelines, applications, and a preliminary checklist.

Plan Submission

  • The applicant submits required plans along with their application(s) to the Community Development Department FORMS & APPLICATIONS page in pd format.

  • Once the application is reviewed Plan Review fees can be paid online by emailed instruction or by check, cash via mail or in person. All affected City departments will be notified of the plans for review and approval.
  • Within 10-15 working days of the plan submittal, the applicant will be notified of any comments and concerns.

Plan Review Meeting

Final Plan Preparation
