Site Development

The Site Development & Inspections Division (SDID) staff of plan reviewers and inspectors ensure that the development of residential and commercial projects meets applicable county, state and federal regulations.

Site Status DefinitionsSDID seeks excellence in service by balancing the needs of the community with environmental regulations and construction standards to ensure sites are developed in concert with their approved site-related plan, and conform to county codes and standards, including the Public Facilities Manual. As part of this service, staff review, inspect and evaluate the following:

  • New public infrastructure;
  • Control of erosion and sedimentation;
  • Storm drainage;
  • Stormwater management; and
  • Tree preservation.
