Centerpoint Radius Maps

Q - What is a radius map anyway?
A - Many first time permit applicants wonder what a radius map is and why they're being required to submit one with their project. Simply put, a radius map shows parcels or lots, with the subject property in the center. There will be a circle or radius drawn to a specified distance from the borders of the subject parcel-often 300', 500', or 1000'. Every parcel that falls within that radius is required to be given notice of the proposed project. Some jurisdictions only require that property owners are notified, while others ask for both owners, as well as residential and commercial occupants. Typically, they will ask that the applicant provide mailing labels that include every property owner and occupant (if required) within the specified radius. They then use these labels to send out notices alerting neighbors of your proposed project, giving them an opportunity to voice their support or opposition if they so choose.
