COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT
Commercial development includes all uses other than one and two-family residential structures. Development permits are required for all new structures and sites, redevelopments, renovations/additions, changes of use classification, tenant improvements, and commercial build-outs. Commercial developments are reviewed for compliance with the City of Prattville Development Codes and Fire Codes.
The Planning and Development Department's Building Division conducts permit review processes for Commercial Developments. Reviews for new projects, significant redevelopments, and additions are initiated with the Planning Department. Reviews for changes in occupancy class, interior renovations, and build-outs are initiated with the Building Division. All permits for and inspections of Commercial Developments are handled by the Building Division.
