Procedure For Setting Up
A Concept Review Meeting

Before submitting a preliminary plat, minor subdivision plat or a site plan for a planned district, it is necessary to first have a concept review meeting with City staff. This is an informal meeting, attended by representatives of various City departments and private utility companies. At the meeting, the proposal is discussed with the applicant after which staff provides the applicant with a written list of comments pertaining to access, utilities and other issues.

In order to set up a concept review meeting, the following items are needed:

  1. A letter to the Planning Department from the applicant or the applicant’s agent requesting the concept review meeting and briefly describing the project.
  2. An 81/2”x11” locator map, clearly showing the subject property.
  3.  An 81/2”x11” sketch of the proposed plat or site plan. In the case of a subdivision plat, the sketch should show proposed lots and the street layout. In the case of a site plan, the sketch should show proposed buildings, parking areas and landscaped areas.

If electronic copies are not available, please submit paper copies to:

City of Columbia Planning Department

Columbia, MO 65205-6015

After receiving the request, the staff will set up the meeting and notify the applicant and appropriate departments via e-mail of the date, time and location. Meetings are normally scheduled on Tuesday and Thursday 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m.

Please indicate in your letter the date and time you would prefer. The Planning Department will try to accommodate your request depending upon availability. The concept review meetings are usually held approximately 10 days after receiving the request.
