Now that your final site plans have been completed by your State of Michigan-licensed design professional, they must be submitted to the Community Development Department for final review and approval. You or your design professional will submit three one (1) electronic copy of your final, sealed site plan to the Department along with a payment for a Commercial/Industrial Site Plan Review (Fee Schedule). **little box on what “sealed” means, Will has some text
The first step in the site plan review process is that City staff reviews the plans to verify compliance with various ordinances, rules, and regulations; if you have gone through a BDT meeting and a Pre-Application Site Plan Review meeting, most if not all potential issues have already been revealed and discussed. Staff from the building, zoning, engineering, waste water, police, fire and electric departments will closely review your site plan and be sure that your project meets the requirements of their area of expertise.
After this process if there are any questions or issues with your plan, your design professional is contacted to go over anything that may need additional information or to discuss any problem areas identified. Once these issues are resolved, staff will advance them to the next step of the process.
Submittal requirements can be found in the City of Sturgis Application and Checklist.
