Development Services Review. Final Report. Zucker July 2016

speeding up the CO inspection process, it frees up the planners’ time so they can focus on development review and other tasks. We agree with this practice and frequently recommend it in our studies. However, given that the City has established architectural and landscaping criteria, it may not be practical for Inspectors to assume this responsibility. 159. Recommendation: The Community Development Director should explore whether Building Inspectors or Code Inspectors can perform required Planning inspections to streamline the inspection process and free up more project processing time for Planners.
