Planning Department Pre-Application Meeting Scheduler

Book a development pre-application meeting with Montgomery Planning staff

A new online scheduler for Development Pre-Application Meetings is now available. This tool allows applicants, property owners, and community members to schedule a pre-application virtual meeting with Montgomery Planning staff to obtain initial feedback on development proposals and determine next steps in the development review process. Each meeting will include one of our planners and, as needed, experts in transportation, design, historic preservation, and the environment.

Time slots are available every other Monday from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. in 30-minute increments. Please only schedule a meeting when your project is ready to discuss with Montgomery Planning staff. The window to schedule a meeting for Monday will close at 5 p.m. the Wednesday before.   

Instructions

To schedule a meeting

  1. Click the location on the map where your project is located/will be taking place or type in the address in the search bar. 
  2. Once the location is clicked, available dates and times will be shown on the right side. Select your preferred date and time and fill out the information requested, which will allow Planning staff to assemble the appropriate staff for the meeting. Fill in your email address so that the meeting link goes to you and anyone else on your team you’d like to add. There are additional fields to fill out so Planning staff can best assemble our resources for the meeting. 
  3. After you complete the online form, you will receive a calendar invitation via email which includes the phone number and weblink to join the meeting. If you have sketches, plans, or other documents for staff review, attach them to the meeting invitation, which will automatically share them with planning staff. Sketches and project narratives are strongly suggested to ensure staff are prepared and the meeting is productive.
