In order to kickstart the process for the above subjects, applicants will need to become a "Collaborator” and then "Create a New Project” under the applicable template. Applicants can access MyGov HERE

Prior to development within the City Limits or ETJ, the applicant will need to schedule either a Design Review Committee "DRC" or a Pre-Conference (high level), if the applicant does not have a definitive site plan. DRC's allow staff to provide the applicant with updated information applicable to the site, that is not readily available to the public. Ideally, preventing any potential roadblocks and providing clarity on the sites' current situation.

You can access the DRC application HERE.
