Abstract
This chapter addresses the interaction of the retail project developer with the municipal development and planning review process. An overview of the steps in the approval process is set forth, followed by background information describing what planners do and what their general reasoning process is. Common retail development problem issues are discussed, including dealing with noncompatible contiguous residential land uses, neighborhood opposition, off-site transportation effects, and infrastructure and fiscal impacts. The potential effects of large retail big box projects that threaten to weaken competing shopping districts are also covered. Closing comments address priorities for the mutual benefit of both the developer and the community.
