The City of Annapolis’ process for development’s review and approval is presently evolving. The following is a brief description of the process. If you are following an application for development, contact P&Z and ask what are the future reviews, meetings, work sessions, hearings and approvals.
A development application is reviewed by Annapolis P&Z who will organize public meetings for discussion of the application. Then, the application is reviewed by the Planning Commission during a public hearing where public testimony is welcome after the City staff and the applicant have presented their views. The Planning Commission either approves or denies the application. The Planning Commission’s decision may be appealed to either the Building Board of Appeals or Circuit Court, depending on the issue.
