Land Development

• Prepare a site plan of a proposed new development on the site
• You may use either the existing zoning or a proposal for rezoning to new zoning district in that municipality
• If you use the existing zoning make sure you include all appropriate allowable zoning information such as setbacks, minimum acreage requirements, allowable impervious coverage, etc.
• If you use a proposed zoning, you should indicate both the existing zoning information and the proposed
• If your plan deviates from the zoning, you will need to indicate “zoning variances” that will be required in order to gain approval of the municipality
• It is ok to be original in your design
• All of the zoning information should be on the right hand side of the plan
• Plot the proposed site plan using CADD at a scale that will fit onto an 11 x 17 plan sheet, make sure it shows the property lines so that the property is well defined on the plan
• Overlay on the site the google earth image and topographic lines using either google or USGS information
• If there is a stream, creek or pond on the site make sure you identify.
• Indicate the size of the parcel
• Make sure your plan includes a north arrow, a location map, adjoining street names, a graphic scale, etc.
• The plan should have a title block showing your name and the municipality in which the site is located.
