Plan and Plat Review Re-submittals

Process Description
Plans or plats that have been through the review process and received comments must be corrected and re-submitted. Plans or plats should not be submitted by the client for the next review cycle until all corrections have been made. This allows the plans to go to the next step in either the permitting process, plan approval process or Recorded Map process. Caution should be exercised if the plan changes have impact on trade reviews that have already been approved in a prior review cycle.

The following are types of plans or plats that may require re-submission:

• Preliminary Development plans (Subdivisions, Site Plans, Master Plans, etc.)
• Recorded Maps
• Infrastructure Construction Plans
• Residential and Commercial building plans

See the City of Raleigh Development Services Glossary for any unfamiliar terms.

Exceptions to the Process
Pre-submittal Conferences (building or site) are a one time review and are not re-submitted.

Are there any prerequisites to this process?
The project must have completed at least one review cycle and have outstanding comments.
