When is Planning Commission approval required?
The Planning Commission must approve a Site Plan for all new buildings and additions, all non-residential manufactured buildings or pre-fabricated buildings; and site alterations including the construction or expansion of driveways, parking areas, and loading areas for development other than single-family and duplex dwellings and their accessory structures.

Planning Commission approval is required for all Preliminary Plats and Final Plats except for what are considered minor adjustments to a property line, combining of lots, dividing a single tract into no more than two lots or which involves adjusting building lines, easements or other similar changes that do not involve any street or public utility construction. Such minor plats may be reviewed and approved at the staff level.
