Development Services Advisory Committee

The Development Management Team (DMT), a middle management group including Planning, Inspections, Fire, Stormwater, Transportation Services and Public Utilities, met to outline a work plan for 2012 based on suggestions gathered at the Regulatory Reform and Efficiencies Workshop, held in November of 2011.

The group's objective is to determine which suggestions will have the greatest positive impact on our development system without negatively impacting other processes. Find out what the action items and responses are to community feedback presented at the Regulatory Reform Workshop.

Next Meeting TBD

The Raleigh City Council approved the creation of the Development Services Advisory Committee (DSAC). This committee interacts with city staff and management to develop ideas for process improvements.

Mission:
The mission of the Development Services Advisory Committee is to review administrative policies and procedures to ensure consistent compliance with the City's development standards, while proposing new ways to do so in measurable, predictable, transparent, cost-effective, seamless and efficient ways that provide the level of services that customers define.

Committees:
Currently the DSAC has 72 members that represent different fields within the land development industry. This cross section of the development industry provides the City of Raleigh with valuable partners to assist with review of administrative policies. Four committees have been formed to address issues indentified during their first open meeting held in October of 2008.

1. Executive Leadership Group: The Executive Leadership Group established the vision, providing overall leadership and identifying broad strategies for improving Raleigh's development review process. This group will also work to make recommendations about the overall organizational structure that is designed to deliver development services.
2. BIM/IPD Group: The Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) group is researching the possiblities of moving forward with a collaborative effort between Mecklenburg and Raleigh to improve the future of commercial electronic plan review.
3. Customer Service Group: The Customer Service Group is charged with identifying benchmarks for what the industry's expectation is for excellent customer service that is predictable and transparent.
4. Plan Review/Field Inspection Group: The Plan Review/Field Inspections Group will identify measurable expectations for the delivery of consistent, predictable, cost efficient plan review and field inspections.
