I’m new to the idea of constructing a home on a vacant lot. I am planning on building a 2 story (2 1/2 story at best … meaning a 3rd story that is set back and takes up only 1/2 of the footprint of an entire floor) at best. The area is zoned for structures up to 70 ft high. My home will be significantly lower and smaller.

As long as my architect’s plans follow all city codes, reqs and zoning, does the community board get involved? Do the plans need to be submitted to the cb for approval? This is not a landmarked area at all.
