Site plan review process gets a new city website
Friday, October 27, 2023 by Elizabeth Pagano
As part of a protracted effort to smooth out the development process, the city’s Development Services Department unveiled a new website on Thursday to track improvements to the site plan process. The site comes out of an independent assessment of the current site plan review process that found a convoluted process involving 1,470 steps and more than 250 staff members for each plan. Now, implementation of recommendations found in the report are underway. “The website launched today lays out the initiatives the City will be focused on, and as each individual initiative is worked on, more detailed information will be added. The page will be updated regularly and will also provide opportunities for questions and comments along the way. Monthly updates will also be provided in the Building Connections newsletter and every opportunity will be taken to celebrate critical milestones,” according to the press release.
