Planning director warns of heavy subdivision workload, starts 10-day permit-completeness pilot
Summary
Sheridan County Planning Director Mark Reid says nine subdivision applications are pending and announced a pilot to check small-structure permit completeness within 10 days to meet statutory deadlines ahead of a July 1 requirement.
Sheridan County Planner Mark Reid told commissioners the Planning Department is unusually busy this year, with nine subdivision applications either scheduled or under review. Reid said he is launching a pilot to ensure permit applications for structures under 3,000 square feet are reviewed for completeness within 10 days using automated spreadsheets, aiming to meet statutory permit-issuance requirements ahead of the July 1 deadline.
The board did not record objections to the pilot; Reid described it as a process-improvement effort to expedite review timelines and handle the high volume of land-use activity. The item reflects near-term workload pressure for county planning staff and could affect timelines for developers and property owners submitting small-structure permits.
