Development Review Services Team

What do we do?

The Development Review Services Team is responsible for processing a variety of land use applications, which include requests for land divisions, commercial developments, rezoning requests, amended plats, Rural Land Use Plans, referral from adjacent entities, and proposed public projects. 

One of the main objectives of the Engineering review is to ensure that adequate public facilities are addressed and that the development adheres to all applicable standards and codes. The Development Services Engineers are responsible for analyzing and evaluating information regarding transportation, stormwater, floodplain, and erosion control reviews. We provide technical review of construction plans, stormwater and erosion control plans and reports, floodplain analysis, groundwater modeling, geotechnical/soil investigation reports, traffic impact studies and pavement designs. 

A Development Construction Permit (DCP)  is required prior to the commencement of any improvements associated with an approved project.
