Starting January 27, 2025 all new applications in the Downtown Community Plan Area will be subject to the New Zoning Code and must use revised forms (where applicable). These forms are now available at the Department of City Planning's Forms page.
Whether a project is small (a single-family home addition) or large (a skyscraper), it starts as a project application that is submitted to one of the City’s Development Services Centers (DSCs). The public counter is where planning and development come together and the land use process typically begins.
