Work group finalizes waiver checklist, plans Momentum integration
Summary
The Universal Design Work Group finalized a waiver checklist and agreed to add it to the Momentum permitting application; staff will estimate a minor FY25 fiscal impact and circulate a draft bill for review with a target to finalize by Aug. 16.
The Universal Design Work Group finalized a waiver checklist and agreed to add it to the county’s Momentum permitting application so applicants can submit waiver documentation directly through the permit workflow. "We all agree that we wanna add it to the application," said Lori Paris, who led the update for staff.
Paris said the checklist includes several newly added definitions and the information needed to apply for a waiver. She told members the technical change will require a small IT update and that the fiscal impact is expected to be minor for FY25. "There may be a small fiscal impact, but not too much because, again, we just have to update our Momentum system and our Momentum application," Paris said.
The group discussed usability: Paris said the form is intended to be simple—largely yes/no checkboxes with brief explanations—and that engineers or architects would typically provide technical explanations for site constraints. Griffin, a committee participant, said the terminology looks straightforward for industry professionals but acknowledged the process is new and may require adjustments.
Paris said staff will produce a draft bill and circulate it for review; she hopes to have a final draft to the work group by Aug. 16 and to take a vote at the next meeting.
