Planning and Development Department Applications

The Planning and Development Department administers several types of land use related applications, some are “referrals”, and some are applications made directly to the RDKB.  For applications where another agency is the approval authority, you apply directly to that agency.  The RDKB will become involved with your application when it is referred to the RDKB by that agency.
