Review Teams

Commercial Plan Review Teams
Teams consist of multi-disciplinary staff supervised by a team leader. These teams review construction plans for compliance with building codes, city ordinances and federal/state regulations. Site planning, civil engineering, traffic engineering, fire prevention, electrical, architectural, structural and plumbing/mechanical reviews are all conducted by the team. Team leaders are the main point of contact coordinating with developers throughout the review process, from plan submittal to project completion.

Commercial Infill Team
This team facilitates projects within a designated infill incentive area and specializes in the development of high rise/high tech building projects as well as the reuse of historical or existing buildings. The primary goal of this team is to encourage redevelopment with the city's inner core by providing a customized approach to permitting and inspections.

Minor Commercial Teams
Teams provide development assistance at public counters for technical requirements, explanations and direction on processes and issuance of over-the-counter permits. Additionally, staff on these teams conduct plan reviews for minor commercial projects and process abandonments, lot divisions, comprehensive sign programs and dedications.

Planned Community Development Teams
Teams review residential subdivisions and multi-family/condominium projects for compliance with planned community development master plans. The teams review projects for design review, landscaping, grading/drainage, concrete/paving, street right-of-way improvements and water/sewer. They also ensure appropriate zoning and land use for compliance with city regulations such as the Sonoran Preserve edge treatment, citywide design guidelines and planning overlays.

Residential Plan Review Team
This team reviews plans and issues permits for single-family homes, duplexes, townhouses, additions, remodels, and other residential construction projects. This team provides over-the-counter permits for minor residential construction and offers specialized assistance for first-time and Spanish-speaking customers at a designated counter.

Support Teams
Include the Landscape, Civil, Fire and Traffic plan review teams. These highly specialized teams support the Commercial, Planned Community Development and Residential Teams by reviewing plans in their respective discipline that are submitted as part of a project. The support teams help the review teams ensure quality plan reviews by assisting in site plan and construction document review, attending project meetings and solving technical issues.
