When will new and re-development projects be expected to meet the new permit regulations?
The effective date for the Planning and Land Development Section is 90 days after the Regional Board approves the new Technical Guidance Manual (TGM) that the cities and county are developing to assist developers with compliance. This date is estimated as approximately August, 2010 (see page 64). Plans that are completed before August 2010 are still required to meet the requirements of the 2000 Permit. Completed plans are defined in the new permit as those “Deemed Complete” for processing by the local agency or that have “Vested Tentative Maps” or Tentative Maps with a valid time extension. (See page 65, top).
