Land Development Division

A Sketch Plan (SK) is the initial plan type required for nonresidential projects in excess of five acres. Sketch plans do not require engineering detail and are "early first drafts of proposed developments" that, by their review, enable the applicant to save time and expense in reaching general agreement and consensus with the County as to the design, size, access, layout, extent, location and degree of the necessary and/or proposed improvements in conjunction with a proposed development. The Land Development Division administratively approves all sketch plans.

Sketch plans take approximately one month from submission to approval and are valid for an initial period of one year.

The following forms are required when submitting a sketch plan:

• Sketch Plan Checklist
• Development Control Form
• Residential Site/Subdivision Fee Calculation Sheet or
  Nonresidential Site/Subdivision Fee Calculation Sheet
