Development Review Committee Information
The Development Review Committee (DRC) is a staff-level committee made up of County staff representing various departments and agencies that have a responsibility for reviewing plans or providing services to proposed development. A preliminary review of each application received by the submission deadline will be completed in order to determine if a DRC review will be required. When required, applicants are encouraged to attend this meeting.
DRC meetings are generally held in the Administrative Complex located at 66 Captain Matthew Freeman Drive, or virtually via Go-To Meeting. These meetings typically take place between the hours of 9:00 am and 12:00 pm, with 30-minute time slots allotted for discussion of each application. DRC meetings are scheduled by staff. Once an application is determined to be complete, an email will be sent notifying an applicant of their meeting time and location.
