Site Plan Review Process

Prior to any development or redevelopment proposals, applicants or their representatives are encouraged to contact the Village Manager to schedule a Conceptual Review Meeting. These meetings are free of charge and provide an opportunity for an informal consult of the project with the Village Manager to identify any barriers and opportunities prior to applicants investing substantial time and resources into a formal site plan draft and review. To set up a Conceptual Review Meeting, please email the Village Manager at manager@villageofbrooklyn.com or call the Village Office at (517) 592-2591.

Most residential and all commercial projects will require permits, inspections, and approvals. This meeting will help identify which permits or inspections are required. Permits are required for any structural, electrical, plumbing, and mechanical work. Permit applications and other building forms can be found on our forms page and contain important information that may help direct you on what is required.

Failure to obtain the necessary requirements may result in penalties being assessed, additional costs, and project delays.
