Whenever the City receives an application for a new development project, part of the application fee includes the cost associated with providing notice to the surrounding neighbors. The City's notice standards include the steps listed below.

• Prior to the application being accepted for review, a sign is posted on the property which summarizes the development application.
• Within 10 calendar days of the submittal of a complete application, notices are mailed to property owners, tenants, and neighborhood associations within a 1,000-foot radius of the project site.
• At least 5 calendar days prior to the public hearing, a newspaper advertisement is placed in the Tallahassee Democrat newspaper. An advertisement is also placed in the Capital Outlook.

The three maps below depict the mailing radius around specific project sites. The letter to the right is an example of the notice that is mailed to properties within the radius.
