StreetscapePLUS allows for a variety of Activities to be performed, from Architectural Approvals to Lot Reservations to Inspection Requests. Each of these Activities are activated at the discretion of the Land Developer and may not be available on all Communities.
In early 2018, StreetscapePLUS introduced iForm submissions for greater speed and accuracy. You will no longer need to fill out a PDF request form, it will all be done through our smart, web-based form, the iForm. This feature is available for almost all developers and communities on the StreetscapePLUS system.
Here are the benefits of the iForm.
- Generates a partially and accurately filled out submission with known information from StreetscapePLUS.
- Allows you to save as many drafts as you need while you gather information before submitting.
- Will generate a printable PDF from either the draft or the submitted form for your records.
- The submitted iForm is saved on StreetscapePLUS in your lot newsfeed as a PDF document for easy reference and archival purposes.
- Detailed strikethrough and annotation history of the requested finishes and any alternatives that followed;
- Required fields ensure that essential information is not missed, which helps prevent any costly delays in the approval process.
- You can save your frequently used materials as defaults to save you time in filling out your material choices.
- Select materials from our finishings database to save time or you can request a custom material, which we will review.
The process of Architectural Approval can be different from one Community to the next, based on a unique set of requirements for each Land Developer or each Community. We will describe the typical process with iForms below:
Files Required at Different Submission Stages:
- Preliminary Approvals
- House Footprint in PDF
- House Elevations in PDF
- Final Approvals
- Final House Working Drawings in PDF
- Plot Plan
Submitting an Approval Request:
1. Click on the Lots tab to go to the Architectural Approval Lot Process section. It will default to this process.
2. You can use the different filter options above the lot list to isolate the lot or lots on which you wish to Request.
3. Once you find your lot, click on the green Request button to move onto the Architectural Approvals Request page.
4. A pop-up window will appear prompting you to download pertinent PDFs for the lot you are working on. If iForms are available the Online Submission Instructions will be available for download, if iForms isn't available, the PDF Approval Form will be available for download. Once you have downloaded the PDF's that you wish to review, click on the Close button to move on to the Request page.
This part of the Process will vary depending on whether you are submitting through iForm or submitting by PDF approval form.
Submitting through iForm:

Anything with an asterisk (*) is a required field. Some fields may pre-populate depending on the information StreetscapePLUS has.

Materials you select will show up yellow when they have not been reviewed, Approved will be green, while denied they will be red. If you cannot find the specific finishes in our database you can add new ones for our team to review using the Other Finishes area. We will review the new materials to see if they are suitable for the community and specific submission.
7a. You can save a draft of the information filled in if you are not ready to submit, but wish to save the iForm for later use - Save as Draft button. After completing the form, You have the option of creating a printable PDF using the Save and Print button. Otherwise, Save and Continue
