Board presses City of Austin to include county permit packet earlier in process
Summary
Board members said City of Austin staff have sometimes omitted county permit materials; a county representative said she had sent the packet to City contacts and asked that the city include it earlier for review before construction begins.
Board members raised recurring coordination problems with the City of Austin's permit process, saying county materials are sometimes not included in the city's packet and applicants move forward before county review. "I sent I sent the packet to Melissa in the office there and to Tyler," one board member said, asking that City of Austin staff include the county packet when projects are proposed so the county can review before work begins.
Members said the county tends to catch projects earlier when they pass through the county permitting process but that projects routed through the city sometimes proceed without the county having an opportunity to comment. The board discussed contacting City staff and following up with Tyler to ask that materials be shared earlier in the process.
