What this form is
Anyone requesting a zoning change, specific use permit, site plan, or related development action in Southlake files this application, which includes owner-signature pages certifying the request. Because the applicant is often the developer or agent rather than the owner, the owner's authorization is signed before a notary public so the city has a sworn record that the true owner consents to the filing.
Who needs it

Why it needs a notary
