Significant Projects: Citywide Interest

Not all projects are the same. We use the terms "significant" to identify projects of citywide interest and "large" for projects with 25 or more new housing units or over 25,000 square feet of commercial. If you are interested in these larger projects, visit our Significant Projects page. To learn more about how we define project size and outreach criteria, read about our Public Outreach Policy.
