How long will the civil plan review process take?
The civil plan review process is made up of two reviews, preliminary and final. The Development Services Division’s goal is to complete the preliminary review within 28 working days and complete the final within 14 working days. Add this to the amount of time the civil engineer would need to revise the plans between the preliminary and final. If the comments from the preliminary review are not adequately addressed, the final review process will be repeated until they are. Ideally, it would be best if projects were approved at the preliminary review. Unfortunately, only about 1.4 percent of plans submitted within a two-year period between June 2000 and June 2002 have been approved on the preliminary review.
