P U BLI C I MP RO V EM E NT PL AN C HE C K RE VI E W S ERV IC ES CSG staff has participated in hundreds of successful plan review contracts for municipalities in California. A key to our success is the utilization of engineering staff with direct public agency experience in Public Works and site engineering for subdivisions and other types of land development projects.
To serve the needs of the City, CSG draws upon our staff consisting of civil engineers, project managers, professional licensed surveyors, and CASp certified staff members. Reviewers are state licensed, or directly supervised by state licensed staff. Once assigned a plan check, we will provide an initial review for completeness, verifying that plans include required City formatting, notes and title block. We will check that all necessary supporting documents are provided. The following is a detailed description of our approach to public improvement plan review.
Plan Review
Review final maps, improvement plans, and landscape plans. Review includes evaluation of required records, studies, grading and improvement plan, and additional materials submitted by the design professional. Confirm that plans conform to City standard design criteria, conditions of approval, and infrastructure or other master plans. Each plan review will be accompanied with a letter summarizing the red-line comments addressed to the applicant’s engineer or landscape architect, with a copy to City staff and the applicant. A complete red-lined set of drawings and any reports will be returned to the design professionals for use in their corrections. At the applicant’s discretion, the comment summary letter and red-lined plan sheets can be scanned and submitted electronically to the design consultant to expedite the review process. Although we understand that meetings will not be required, CSG is available to meet with the applicant/representative and City staff to review comments or to delineate the standards which are not being met, in order to facilitate timely completion of the review and meeting the maximum goal of two plan checks. CSG will accept and review subsequent submittals electronically, when feasible, in order to expedite the review process.
Soils reports will be evaluated and confirmation of recommendations will be included on the plans. Boundary conditions will be evaluated to maintain continuity with surrounding properties and maintain existing drainage patterns. Construction erosion control and post-construction water quality control will be evaluated for compliance with the storm water quality management permit in effect for the City.
Assist the City with development of conditions of approval, development agreements, and other requirements associated with development applications. Assist City in negotiating with developers regarding terms of agreements or conditions (Additional tasks associated with the entitlement process are described above). Confirm that the developer has obtained necessary permits or approvals from other public agencies as needed, and that plans conform to the City’s NPDES Municipal Regional Permit requirements for storm water treatment and detention. 212
Review and recommend approval of engineering bond estimates and subdivision guarantees. Assist the staff in preparing subdivision improvement agreements, other agreements (including stormwater treatment measure and landscape maintenance agreements), and staff reports.
Meet with developers, consultants, and other agencies on behalf of staff, as requested.
