What is the process for development approval?
The process for development approval depends on the level of review a proposed project or development falls under. (Chapters 2 and 9 of the Land Development Code are helpful in determining the types of reviews needed.) If a project falls under a Level 2 Review the applicant shall submit either residential or non-residential engineered site plans, which then needs to be approved through the Development Review Committee (DRC). This could range from a one month to three month approval period pending that the applicant meets all the criteria associated with their project. If a project has to go through a Level 3 Review the applicant has about a three month period to obtain approval, but then that project still has to go through a Level 2 Review. In some cases a project shall go through all levels of review before final approval.
