4. About the Development Process

   Thank you for your interest in developing in the City of Anna. As one of the fastest growing suburbs in North Texas, we are excited to work with you on bringing your project to the community to meet the needs of our neighbors.

   To manage the high volume of applications for new development and redevelopment efficiently, applicants are required to confer with the City's development review team to discuss proposals prior to making a formal submittal. 

   Pre-Application Meeting (PAM): An in-person, informational meeting where applicants ask questions about development requirements and present their project concept for non-binding staff feedback. Meetings are held on Tuesdays and Thursdays. At least one PAM must be completed within 45 days before scheduling a Formal Application Review Meeting (FARM).  

   Formal Application Review Meeting (FARM): An in-person meeting where applicants present their complete application package for City staff review before formal submission. Staff will review materials, identify deficiencies, and provide feedback on compliance with City requirements. Meetings are held on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Applicants must complete a Pre-Application Meeting (PAM) before scheduling a FARM, which must occur with 45 days of the application submission deadline.

   Staff members representing the following departments may be present at the FARM:

   • Development Services (Planning & Landscape Architecture)
   • Engineering Services

   • Parks & Recreation
   • Economic Development, as necessary
