Detailed Descriptions of Revisions to Approved Plans

Recently there have been a number of Commercial and Subdivision submittals of Revisions to Approved Plans (RTAPs) with minimal description of the what has changed on the plans from the previously approved plan set.  In order to provide a more targeted review of these RTAP submittals, we ask that designers please provide a detailed list in the Accela on-line application of the changed sheets/plan elements in the description box.  If it is more convenient, you may create a separate document with a detailed listing of the changes to the plan (.doc, .txt, or .pdf) that may be uploaded to Accela as an attachment along with the revision plan set. 

In addition, please also include descriptions in revision blocks on the various updated plan sheets to label and describe the changed elements, along with revision clouds around what has changed in the plan view.  Please refer to 21 NCAC 56.1103(a)(7): “Any revision on a drawing after a licensee's certification is affixed shall be described and dated and if not done under the responsible charge of the same licensee shall be separately certified.”

This partnership effort on the applicant’s part will help Land Development and Planning staff efficiently process the RTAP application and allow reviewers to more easily determine what is different about the plans and what to focus on for the review.
