Attend Final Staff Review
Final Staff Review and Revisions | Building Permit Plan Review
|
Final Plan Review and Revisions City staff reviewers receive your plans and review them individually to determine if the designs meet applicable standards and codes, address any remaining comments and resolve identified issues. Like during PDP, the culmination of the review period is a staff review meeting where we come together to share our comments with each other and with you. You are invited and encouraged to attend the staff review meeting. Our job at staff review is to identify issues that you must address before we file your plans. Like during PDP, sometimes we discover that our comments conflict with each other. In this case, we will determine how we are going to resolve them at staff review.
At the end of the staff review, your planner will determine whether the project is ready for recording. Some small projects or projects with very well-prepared plans may only require one round of Final Plan review before recordation. Most will need at least one round of revision review.
If you will be doing a revision round of review, your Project Planner will compile all of staff’s comments and redlines into a packet that you can pick up at the DRC counter on the Friday afternoon or Monday morning following your staff review (arrange with your Project Planner). In addition to the comment letter and redlines, your planner will include a revision routing sheet which indicates how many copies of the revisions will be needed when you resubmit.
Revisions are submitted to the Development Review Center and, as with initial submittal, you’ll need to make a submittal appointment. Comments from the revised final plans will be discussed at a subsequent Staff Review meeting. This step will repeat until staff determines that the plans are ready to be filed.
To submit revisions, contact the Development Review Center at 970-221-6750 to schedule a submittal appointment. Bring your complete submittal package to the Development Review Center customer counter at 281 N. College (southwest corner of College and Maple) including:
- your response to the staff review comment letter
- plans per the revision routing sheet given to you after staff review
- any redlines you received after staff review
- any other applicable documents
If you have any questions about combining items or about whether a requirement is applicable, contact your Project Planner first. Incomplete submittals will not be accepted or will be held until complete, so be sure to contact your Project Planner if there is any question about the submittal requirements.
Comments from the revised final plans will be discussed at a subsequent Staff Review meeting. This step will repeat until staff determines that the plans are ready to be filed. 
Building Permit - Plan Review
Once we receive your submittal at the Development Review Center, we enter the application information into our development tracking system (DTS), which initiates the review process for all City departments and outside agencies that are involved in the review.
Staff involved in building permit review includes the Building Services Plans Analysts, Poudre Fire Authority, Stormwater, Engineering, and can include the Historic Preservation Planner if applicable and Larimer County Health Department if applicable, see fcgov.com/drg/contacts.php for a complete list of contacts.
Plan review times vary by type of application. Minor residential construction/alteration permits generally have a 1-7 day turnaround time. Minor commercial projects generally take 2-4 weeks. All other permits requiring review generally have a 4-6 week turnaround time. To check on the status of a building permit application via DTS, visit fcgov.com/dts and search for your project using your permit number. Alternatively, you can call Development Review Center staff at 970-221-6760.
There are no meetings that must be scheduled with building permit plan review. Staff reviewers may contact you with concerns and will comment on the project in DTS and indicate whether the project is OK to proceed or if it is on hold awaiting revisions. Be sure to keep your eye on the comments in DTS so you will know what needs to be addressed and when the plans have been approved. Also, please note that resolved comments may remain visible on DTS, so be sure to focus on the most current comments and review status.
Once all comments have been addressed satisfactorily, the project will be released and you can pick up your plans and move to the next step. You will have 90 days from when the project is submitted to pick your redlined plans up at the Development Review counter. You will then have a maximum of 180 days between picking up your plans and calling for your first inspection. Redlined plans are required for the inspector's use in the field.
