The city of Phoenix has adopted a process
that provides a framework for satisfaction of all requirements for issuance
of building permits. Section 507 of the Phoenix Zoning Ordinance contains
the specifics of the Development Review Ordinance. Other city code sections
relevant to the building permit issuance are incorporated into Section
507 by reference.
The Development Review process begins with
the Site Plan Review Process which seeks to address the following purposes:
- Establish an integrated city-wide review procedure to
process development review documents and subdivisions.
- Ensure a high quality visual appearance and promote functional
solutions for all development within the city of Phoenix.
- Provide meaningful continuity between the appearance and
function of individual projects. The requirements set forth are not intended
to promote uniformity or stifle the creativity expressed in individual
projects.
Development review applies to all public and private facilities
in residential, commercial, and industrial developments in all zoning districts
of the city. For further information on site plan services, please contact the Development Services Department at (602) 262-7811. Please consult with the Development Services Department to
determine the level of development review for your project or send us feedback
online.

process can be obtained by contacting the Business Customer Service Center
