Types of Approvals
There are a variety of development approvals that must be obtained prior to any construction:
Rezones
This process is used to apply a different zoning designation and the associated development standards to a property. This process can be for facilitating a particular development proposal or protecting sensitive areas.
The Planning Commission hears these petitions and sends a recommendation to the Town Council, which has the authority to approve or deny these requests. Once properties receive zoning approval, projects proceed to the Platting and Development Plan phases prior to development.
Development Plans
This process is for projects that already have a legal lot and appropriate zoning. A thorough and detailed examination of the project elements is required before the project is released for site construction and building permits The Planning Commission has the authority to approve these requests.
Platting
This process establishes a legal lot. There are two stages: primary plat and final plat. The primary plat establishes project boundaries, the overall number of lots, access points, and rights-of-way and easements. The final plat shows each lot's boundaries, roadway design, lot dimensions, and all legal information necessary to determine compliance with state regulations. Once recorded, this establishes each lot's legal boundaries and allows for building to occur.

Annual Leaf Clean-Up
With the arrival of autumn and leaves falling, covering the ground and stormwater drains the annual leaf clean-up will begin, courtesy of the Town of Danville Public Works Department. This popular program allows citizens to drop leaves off at the Public Works Department for free disposal on specified days. Public Works will be collecting leaves via curbside on pre-scheduled days. Check the leaf clean-up schedule to ensure your leaves are out and ready for pickup.
Rake the leaves to the area between the sidewalk and the curb.
Do not rake leaves into the street - leaves must be on the property side of the curb.
Do not put leaves out earlier than 48 hours of the scheduled pick-up day.
ONLY leaves (no sticks or yard waste) in the pile to be vacuumed - anything other than leaves can clog and damage the equipment.
Do not place your leaves in the roadway, obstruct any rights-of-way or on the sidewalk - they blow around, become slip hazards when wet, and can clog storm drains and cause flooding.
Do not block drains or pile around fire hydrants. (International Fire Code Fire Protection Water Supplies: Section 508.5.4, Section 508.5.5)
Do not park on piles of leaves.
We will pick up bagged leaves in compostable bags only.
We will not pick up leaves in plastic bags.
Avoid on-street parking on the daily scheduled pick-up side of the street.
Follow the signs for a smooth leaf drop-off. Leaves will be vacuumed up with the leaf vacuum. You can bring the leaves to us any way you can get them there. Branches or semi-solid vegetation will not be accepted. No trash will be accepted. Remain in your vehicle until it's your turn.
