Upon completion of conceptual review, the Board may delegate final review to the staff, with any conditions or directions the Board deems appropriate.
If the Board approves a conceptual design and delegates final review to the staff, the applicant shall continue to develop the design in consultation with the staff. The applicant shall inform the staff of significant revisions and refinements of the design as they are incorporated into the project plans. If the project is large or complex, the applicant shall meet with the staff to ensure that the development of the design remains consistent with the Board's direction.
Upon the completion of the final design, the applicant shall submit the permit application and plans for staff review. An official transmittal with an assigned case number is not required for this submission unless the staff determines that the case should be returned to the Board for further review.
The staff may approve the permit application if the plans are consistent with the Board's conceptual review. If the plans are not consistent with the conceptual review, the staff shall consult with the applicant to resolve any discrepancies. If unable to reach a resolution, the staff shall require the applicant to file the case for further Board review.
The staff shall review final applications as expeditiously as possible. If the project is large or complex, the staff shall review final applications within fifteen (15) days of receipt.
The staff may place conditions on a final approval by annotating on the plans or by noting written conditions on the application form. The staff shall submit all final design plans and any annotations and written conditions to DCRA for inclusion in official permit files.
