Developers propose single‑point liaison to resolve interagency conflicts
Summary
A multifamily developer urged the county to establish a designated liaison role to coordinate between planning, DPIE, WSSC and other reviewers during underwriting and entitlements so a single contact can reconcile conflicting comments and speed project progress.
During the public discussion a multifamily developer described an idea to accelerate projects by providing applicants a single, internal county liaison who would coordinate across agencies and help resolve conflicting comments.
"One of the ideas that they're trying to implement is kind of this role as a liaison," the developer said, arguing the liaison would work through underwriting and entitlement periods and "bounce between different agencies to help consolidate and provide feedback and give you direction or move the needle where you need it moved." The developer said that role could reduce the onus on applicants to wrangle multiple comments from different entities.
Work group members broadly welcomed the idea as a desirable aspiration but acknowledged it would be difficult to implement; staff asked participants to place recommendations into a shared Excel spreadsheet and a survey so ideas like a liaison could be developed into concrete deliverables for the council.
