FIRST STEP To develop a project of any size in Andover, first contact the City's Planning and Zoning Department at (316) 733-1303, or at planning&zoning@andoverks.com. Staff there can help you navigate the system, and answer questions. Once staff understands the scope of the project, they will be able to provide detailed information on the process to follow, and application forms which specify the information that will need to be provided to the City.
1.1 — Developing a Project in Andover This Chapter contains information on the process and scheduling requirements for developing a project in the City of Andover. 1.1.1 — Getting Started 1.1.2 — Scheduling & Contact Information 1.1.1 — Getting Started Development projects may range in scale from installing a backyard shed to creating a new subdivision. If you intend to build a structure on your property, or change the use of land you own, check first to see what steps you will need to take to meet the City's regulatory requirements. There are good reasons for every regulation, which are intended to maintain public safety and protect property values. For small projects , a property owner or contractor may only need to deal with City Planning and Zoning staff, to confirm that zoning requirements are being met, and apply for necessary permits and approvals. The process for larger development projects is more complex, and often requires public review meetings, as well as approval from the Planning Commission, the Site Plan Review Committee, and the City Council.
REMINDER Walls on permanent foundations and fences over 6 feet in height REQUIRE A BUILDING PERMIT.

WHICH REGULATIONS MAY APPLY Generally, Zoning Regulations apply to all buildings, structures and land uses inside the city limits. They affect new structures or uses, changes in use, and structures being relocated. Structures and uses must be appropriate for the zone in which they are located. To find out which zone your property is in, look at the interactive Zoning Map on the City's website or contact the Planning and Zoning Department at (316) 733-1303, or at planning&zoning@andoverks.com. Subdivision Regulations apply to any landowner who wishes to divide or subdivide land, develop a plat, alter the boundaries of an existing lot or parcel, or vacate a right-of-way, easement, public reserve, or recorded plat. Subdivision Regulations apply both inside the City, and outside the city limits within Andover's extraterritorial jurisdiction . (Map and description of Andover's extraterritorial jurisdiction are available in Subdivision Regulations, Section 1-102.) Site Plan Review Procedures & Standards are intended to maintain and enhance the quality of the built environment in Andover. They apply inside the City , to any parts of a development project which can be seen from public rights-of-way, including exteriors of buildings, accessory structures, signs, parking areas, lighting, and landscaping. They do not apply to single-family or two-family residential projects unless they are in a group setting (see Zoning Regulations, Section 3-107C) . The Building & Construction Codes, Stormwater Management & Riparian Buffer Regulations , and Floodplain Management Regulations address the details of construction, and are generally implemented by professional architects, engineers and contractors who are familiar with their many detailed requirements.
PROJECT REVIEW & APPROVAL If your project is large enough to require public review and approval, it may need to be presented in a specific sequence to some or all of the following City organizations. • The Andover City Planning Commission (PC) , whose members are appointed by the City Council to 3-year terms. Members of the Planning Commission also serve as the City's Board of Zoning Appeals (BZA), making decisions on variances from the terms of the regulations, appeals of Zoning Administrator determinations, and conditional uses . Certain members of the Planning Commission also serve on its Subdivision Committee (PCSC), which focuses on the development and redevelopment of subdivisions, and provides recommendations to the Planning Commission as a whole. • The Andover Site Plan Review Committee (SPRC) , whose members are appointed by the City Council to 3-year terms. SPRC Committee members have backgrounds in such fields as architecture, landscaping, construction, urban planning, historical preservation, traffic control, public safety, civil engineering, and local business ownership. The Site Plan Review Committee reviews all multi-family residential and all nonresidential projects , considering the arrangement of buildings, visual appearance, and safety issues. • The City Council (CC) of Andover consists of six elected City Council members. Together with the elected Mayor, they are the Governing Body of the City of Andover. Agendas & Minutes: Current Agendas and Minutes from previous meetings of these organizations are available on the City website at www.andoverks.com/122/Agendas-Minutes .
