CDRC - What's New?
NOTICE - The valuation table has been updated
The data table used to calculate construction values and determine permit costs, has been updated to the most recent data supplied by the International Code Council. This will result in an increase in value for most projects, and therefore permit fees, but is not equal across all types of construction. The average increase for residential projects is about 2%. The last time we updated this data was February of 2009.
NOTICE - Development Package Submittal process is changing effective April 1st, 2012
To save you time and money and improve customer service we are implementing a new procedure that eliminates all of those sets of folded plans except one. The new requirements will be:
-
1 CD disk that includes ALL documents submitted in 200 DPI Tif or PDF in an un-alterable format (named)
-
1 set of folded plans
-
2 sets of rolled plans

PDSD has adopted a new policy to streamline simple sign inspections. The policy is for non-illuminated signs that are not subject to special inspection and allows sign contractors to self-certify their installations.

Standards 2-02, 2-03 & 2-05 will be phased out when Standard 2-01 is completed.
DEVELOPMENT PACKAGE REVIEW ~ Became effective OCTOBER 31ST
The time has arrived! Effective October 31, 2011 the Development Package process became the standard review process for all site related reviews. Plans will no longer need to be submitted through the CDRC Office, but instead will be processed through the permit counter. Any type of site related review will be able to be processed concurrently. Prior development package reviews processed through the CDRC Office have been approved in 50% of the time of the traditional site and grading reviews.
