Minor Site Plan Process
The minor site plan process was developed as incentive to encourage small
business development and reinvestment in commercial properties. The county
hopes that by easing the time and cost of the typical review, process
owners will be encouraged to make improvements to their properties, which
will facilitate their business goals and improve the vitality of our community.
