The form recommends attendance at Planning Commission and subsequent City Council meetings.

Frequently asked questions
- How do I complete the application and checklist?
- Fill in the project and property details, assemble the plans and supporting documents listed in the checklist, and sign the applicable sections. If an owner appoints an agent, complete the agent authorization and have the owner’s signature acknowledged by a notary.
- Do I need to have my signature notarized?
- The agent authorization section includes a notary acknowledgment for the property owner’s signature. The application’s applicant and owner signature lines on page 3 do not show a notary block.
- Can I sign the owner authorization online?
- Tennessee authorizes remote online notarization by a commissioned online notary. The owner can sign during an online video session; confirm with the city or town if unsure whether it will accept the completed document.
- What should I include with the application?
- The checklist calls for items including a location map, final development plan drawings, circulation and parking plans, utility and land-use information, and other supporting materials. Check each applicable item and include required agent authorization when the applicant is not the property owner.
