Director John Roberts announced the city signed a contract with a consulting firm (identified in the meeting as '3 j') to perform a development-review audit intended to identify opportunities to expedite application intake and improve coordination among engineering, planning and building. Roberts said the audit is technical and likely will not require detailed commission involvement, but its findings could inform code amendments.
Roberts said the audit is expected to be complete by early December and will review codes, intake procedures and permit workflows to identify where processes can be expedited. He encouraged commissioners to expect recommendations that could change how some applications are routed or processed.
