MASTER SITE PLAN CHECKLIST
MASTER SITE PLAN REQUIREMENTS
A master site plan is a generalized development plan that establishes building envelopes and overall entitlements for complex,
large-scale projects that will require multiple years to reach completion. See Section 38.230.020.B, BMC for master site plan
thresholds and 38.230.090.E.3, BMC for phasing standards.
This handout provides details for the master site plan application requirements. If these requirements are met, it will minimize
delays that can occur when an application is disorganized, incomplete or not formatted correctly. These requirements are
mandatory per BMC 38.220. If two or more departures are proposed, the application shall be processed as a Planned Unit
Development.
