What this form is
Daly City routes smaller discretionary planning requests — use permits, variances, administrative design review, and sign programs — through a Minor Development Project Application reviewed by the Design Review Committee. Like the city's other planning applications, the property owner signature line is marked as requiring notarization before the Planning Division will process the request.
