Site Development Plan


The Site Plan ordinance establishes procedures for approval authorities and standards for the review and approval of site plan applications.

Its intent is to improve the environmental quality of developments in the City of Northville, minimize the possibility that a particular development may have an adverse effect upon adjacent property, and ensure proper relationships between the development features as they relate to: traffic safety, service roads, driveways, parking areas, accessory buildings and uses, and open spaces.

City Council empowers the Planning Commission authority to establish procedures, standards and administrative rules for site plan approval.

Site Plan Procedures and Application is addressed in Article 19 of the Zoning Ordinance. 
Applicants are encouraged to request a pre-application conference with the City's Planning Consultant. This conference will familiarize applicants with the zoning ordinance requirements for their potential project prior to applying to the Planning Commission for project review and approval.
