Development Services Review. Final Report. Zucker July 2016

 Challenge other department conditions when they appear inappropriate;

 Act as a single point of contact for the applicant to resolve issues that arise during the multi-departmental review process;  Analyze the project to ensure consistency with regulations, policies and long- range plans;  Write and sign staff reports that provide decision-makers with a professional recommendation with enforceable conditions of approval that mitigate issues;  Present concise, formal PowerPoint presentations of the project at public meetings.  Conduct site inspection to verify required improvements have been constructed prior to issuance of Certificates of Occupancy; and  Conduct field reviews of the project six months to a year after Certificate of Occupancy is granted to determine if approvals were satisfactory or if unintended impacts have occurred, which requires code or process adjustments. Currently, planning staff performs most of these functions, but as noted above some are not being performed. Recommendation: The Community Development Director should empower the current planners to perform all of the functions described above through formal policy and intra and inter-departmental agreement (e.g., agree planners are the lead, and act as projects managers, etc., with other divisions and departments involved in the permitting process and that staff will be held accountable to perform as agreed).  Coordinate with key decision-makers;  Sign off on building plans prior to building permit issuance;
