ONE-STOP PERMIT PROCESSING <br /> <br />One-stop permit centers can create efficiencies in permit <br />processing through enhanced coordination; however, many <br />jurisdictions do not have one-stop centers. <br /> <br />WRI-i~'i',EN INFORMATION ABOUT THE PERMIT PROCESS <br /> <br />At the beginning of the development process, a permit applicant <br />needs clear, concise, complete, and user-friendly written <br />instructions regarding the permit process and estimated timetables. <br /> <br />CONSISTENT REGULATIONS <br /> <br />Intra-agency and interagency conflicts in regulations (including <br />interpretation), codes, and standards need to be resolved as soon as <br />possible. <br /> <br />SINGLE CONTACT PERSON <br /> <br />10. <br /> <br />A single contact person on staff (expeditor, project planner, or <br />process coordinator) is needed to coordinate an application <br />through the regulatory agency's proms. <br /> <br />CONCURRENT PROCESSING <br /> <br />11. <br /> <br />Concurrent processing rather than sequential processing of <br />discretionary permits (such as general plan amendments, rezoning, <br />and map approvals) and concurrent processing of ministerial <br />permits (building, fire, engineering) can help shorten processing <br />time. <br /> <br />TIMELY DISCLOSURE <br /> <br />12.
