There are two types of regularly scheduled meetings with staff: Pre-Submittal meetings with Planning staff and DRT (Development Review Team) meetings with staff from multiple city departments. Most general questions can be answered by looking at the Frequently Asked Questions page or emailing us at zoning@slc.gov.
Schedule an appointment with the Planning Counter. Appointments are being offered for those who need technical assistance applying for a planning application. All appointments are required to be scheduled 24 hours in advance, we apologize for that inconvenience.
A Pre-submittal meeting is an opportunity to meet with senior planning staff about your project – before or during creation of plans and drawings. These meetings are informal and advisory only. No decisions are made and advice is not binding.
We are available to discuss the following:
City Codes & Policies: What are the requirements for a zoning amendment? What are the requirements for new construction and major changes to a building in a Historic District? Do City General Plans support the project?
Planning Processes & Procedures: What are the applicable planning processes to execute a project if it does not meet the zoning ordinance? Who is involved in the process? Who has the authority to approve the project? What is the timeframe of the project?
The following information is required for the meeting:
