Application Forms and Checklists
Simplifying the development application process is essential for both municipalities and applicants alike. This section offers streamlined and consolidated application forms and checklists that provide municipalities with the flexibility to process various application types simultaneously and update them with ease. For applicants, these result in more efficiency and clarity, as they eliminate the need of navigating multiple forms and potentially providing redundant information. The basic templates cover diverse application types and are structured to require the information needed to ensure applications are clear and complete to support an efficient application review process. Local governments can adapt these open-source forms to customize to their specific needs. Additionally, a separate Subdivision application form addresses the unique complexities of such applications, ensuring a comprehensive and user-friendly approach to the approval process.
