The Town also coordinates with other agencies such as the San Ramon Valley Fire Protection District, Contra Costa County Transportation Department, and East Bay Regional Parks District to address any concerns they may have.  Finally, the Town must insure that the public review process is followed so that all interested parties have an opportunity to participate in the process.

     What is a Development Application?

    Prior to the subdivision and development any land within the Town, the Town requires that the property owner or applicant file a development application with the Town’s Planning Division.
