Great News for PLUS Customers - June 2024

LDS LogoCounty staff continue to implement additional improvements to the Planning and Land Use System (PLUS) to serve you better. Check out these new PLUS fixes for Land Development Services (LDS) customers.

 


PLUS Enhancement


LDS Customer Benefit


Updates to Building

Update contacts on critical structures records.

Customers can now create an amendment to update/add contacts on the Critical Structures (CRIT) record.

Submit a revision to critical structures records.

Customers can now submit a revision to the Critical Structures (CRIT) record allowing the applicant to update pertinent information on the form if something were to change out in the field.

Update to elevator inspection report email.

On the Elevator Inspection report, the click “here” link has been updated to allow for the report to be downloaded directly from the email notification.

Notifications for unsuccessful payments.

Applicants will now receive an email notification if an online payment is unsuccessful whether it be for insufficient funds or a returned check. Holds will be placed on records where the payment is unsuccessful and removed upon receipt of payment.


Updates to Site

Create batch report to move plats from Administrative Hold to In Review.

 

A daily report has been created to move Record Plats that are on Administrative Hold to In Review status when all fees are paid and conditions are met. This automated feature increases efficiency for both staff and customers, ensuring plats are quickly and effectively moved to Final Signature review and approval.

Update comment fields on bonding-general conditions.

This enhancement brings bonding conditions and related comments up to date with current processes bringing clarification for staff and customers.

Update review distribution task for all site records when set to 'Waiting for Corrections'.

Allows the Review Distribution task to function similarly to the Application Submittal task so that staff can request additional information when needed at resubmission prescreen on all site records. 

Staff can now add pictures to inspection reports in PLUS.

This enhancement allows site inspection staff to automatically upload pictures to corresponding inspection reports while in the field, preventing delays in inspection reporting and adding efficiency to the overall inspection process.
