Site Plan Review
Land Management is responsible for reviewing all commercial, industrial and multi-family site development plans for zoning compliance. All commercial, industrial, and multi-family site plans require TRC (Technical Review Committee) approval. 

Subdivisions
Divisions of land into two or more parcels usually require a subdivision plat to be approved by the City.  A preliminary plat is a drawing of a proposed subdivision.  Preliminary plats are approved by City Council after a recommendation by the Planning Board.  A final plat is the final map of the subdivision that is recorded in the Register of Deeds office. 

Sign, Alcohol, Air Quality & Zoning Permit Review
Land Management is responsible for performing Zoning Administration duties. In order for anyone to obtain a sign permit, an alcohol local government opinion/inspection form, an air quality zoning consistency determination, or a residential building permit in the City of Wilson Zoning Jurisdiction, they must have the zoning reviewed by Land Development. 

Floodplain Administration
Any development, including buildings or other structures, filling, grading, or paving, requires a Floodplain Development Permit.  Permit applications are reviewed by Development Services and Public Services for compliance with all floodplain regulations. 

Zoning and Landscape Inspections
Prior to a business or development requiring Technical Review Committee approval open for business, a final zoning and landscape inspection must be performed to make sure the site was developed according to the approved site plan. This inspection is required before a business or development obtains a Certificate of Occupancy.
