Lent Ranch Marketplace

  7. Development Processing

Lent Ranch Districts entitlement processing

 

The process for designing and approving development in the Lent Ranch area is governed by the Lent Ranch SPA. With the exception of the Regional Mall site, all districts first require approval of District Development Plans (DDPs) that focus on general architectural design, site planning, landscaping, lighting, and building materials. The DDPs are followed by Development Plan Reviews (DPRs), which allow for the issuance of building permits for individual buildings. District Development Plans require City Council approval; Development Plan Reviews are approved at a staff level.

In the case of District A (Regional Mall), development will proceed directly to Development Plan Review, approved by the City Council. However, pursuant to the SPA, the Plan Review for the mall site will function more like a District Plan in that some elements of the approval will be conceptual and programmatic.
