LDS Customer Benefit

Updates to Building

Updated Residential Demolition

Added a new structure type under residential demolition; detached accessory structure. This will allow for accurate information to be provided by the applicant when applying for demolition of gazebos, pool houses, etc.

Updated Critical Structures Records

The 2021 Uniform Statewide Building Code (USBC) updates have been added to the Critical Structures record and can be selected during submission. Two new email notifications were added, one to confirm when a document is uploaded and another when the record itself is closed at the end of the inspection process.

Updated PLUS to Display Plumbing Fixtures

Customers can now see information related to plumbing fixtures (or drainage fixture units) associated with their commercial construction project. (See image 1 below.)

Updated Non-Residential Use Permit (NONRUP) Records

The “Pay Fees” link was added to the confirmation page for NONRUP record applications. This will allow payments to be made through the link directly, versus having to click into the record and navigate to the fees tab. (See image 2 below.)

Update to Site

Created a Clarifying Disclaimer for Lot Validation Submissions

Additional language has been added to the Lot Validation application in PLUS to clarify when this request is appropriate and to help distinguish the difference between a valid lot and a buildable lot to ensure applicants are submitting appropriately.

Updated the Signature Set Disapproval Notification

The signature set disapproval email has been updated to incorporate the fees adopted by the Board of Supervisors with the Appendix Q updates on July 1, 2024.

Updated the Land Disturbance Permit (removing the "and Stormwater Permit" language).

Land Disturbance Permits have been updated to reflect the adoption of the Chapter 124.1 consolidated Erosion and Stormwater Management Ordinance.  Customers will no longer see the “and Stormwater Permit” title and supplemental language as it is now covered under the combined ordinance and applicable in all scenarios where Chapter 124.1 is applicable.

Added Gateway and Minimum Submission Review (MSR) disciplines to the Digital Plan Room to Operate Similarly to ESI Review

MSR and Gateway staff will now have access to complete their respective review entirely in the Digital Plan Room (DPR). Staff are now able to create DPR ‘Issues’ which can be directly addressed by the applicant in the Plan Room, upon resubmission. This eliminates the need for both staff and the applicant to upload separate documents to identify comments and comment responses. Additional email notification has been created to notify applicants when MSR and Gateway reviews result in ‘Not Acceptable’ and require resubmission.
