Development Review Committee (DRC)

 

Well planned subdivisionThe Development Review Committee (DRC) is a 4-member sub-committee of the Planning Commission. Members are appointed annually by the Chair of the Planning Commission.  The 2010 DRC members are Richard Krapf (chair), Joe Poole, Jack Fraley, and Michael Maddocks. The DRC reviews development plans which propose any of the following:

  • a single building or group of buildings with a total floor area exceeding 30,000 square feet
  • a residential development of 50 or more units
  • two entrances on the same road
  • a fast food restaurant or shopping center

 

The DRC may also hear cases if any of the following apply:

  • there are any unresolved problems between the applicant, adjacent property owners, or any reviewing agency
  • a conceptual plan has not been submitted in accordance with County requirements
  • the development plan varies significantly from an approved master plan
  • requests for exceptions and waivers to the site plan and subdivision ordinances


All meetings are held in Building A of the Government Complex, 101 Mounts Bay Road, at 4:00 p.m. unless otherwise noted.
