Plans received by 5:00 pm on Tuesday will be submitted to the Site Review Committee members on Wednesday to begin the site review process. First time submittals have a five working day review time and comments will be available after 12:00 pm on the following Wednesday. Resubmittals have a two working day review time and comments will be available after 12:00 pm on the following Friday. Holidays within the review period may lengthen the return of comments. Any plans previously reviewed that have not been resubmitted to the city within one years' time will be reviewed as a first time submittal.
Developer Meetings
A Developer Meeting is a service the City of Cleveland offers which allows the developer, engineer, or architect of a property to meet with the Site Review Committee and get questions answered before plans are submitted. Developer meetings are held by request on Wednesdays at 10:00 am.
To schedule a developer meeting we must have a request placed before 5:00 pm on Monday. If you would like to schedule a Developer Meeting, please contact Tonya Young at (423) 479-1913.
