June 2018
The Charlotte Land Development Standards
Manual (CLDSM) committee has determined that updates are required to various
CLDSM details. The revision (No. 17) will be effective July 31, 2018.
For the months of June and July, the draft revised details will be
available for public review and comment on the CLDSM webpage at http://charlottenc.gov/ld/CLDSM/Pages/default.aspx. Prior to Tuesday, July 24, 2018, please provide any feedback or comments on the proposed
changes via e-mail to Brendan Smith, E&PM Land Development Division
at bmsmith@charlottenc.gov
Step 1: If you disagree with a staff reviewer
about how a policy or technical issue should be addressed on your project,
please work with the reviewer for resolution. By partnering
together, the goal for a quick resolution to move the project forward can be
more readily achieved.
Step 2: If the disagreement is not able to be
resolved, please submit the Conflict Resolution application (http://charlottenc.gov/ld). The application will ask general
contact information, project information, a detailed description of the
disagreement, and what departments need to be included in the
resolution. Upon submission, Land Development’s Customer Service Manager
(Nan Peterson) will review the record for completion and then distribute to the
appropriate Department Manager to lead the resolution team. Nan will create a
record in the Accela database for tracking and resolution documentation.
The Department Manager will investigate the conflict and facilitate a
conference call or meeting among the appropriate parties within 5 business days
of the submittal of the request. The manager will work with the City’s
review team and the Owner/Applicant or Development Team for final resolution.
If additional time is required for research, both Owner/Applicant or
Development Team and staff will agree upon next steps and the appropriate
timeline for completion.
A written record of the resolution will be noted on the Accela record. This
will allow staff to see patterns of conflicts that could be address
systematically
Step 3: If, after following the above process, the
Owner/Applicant or Development Team is not satisfied with the proposed
resolution, the appropriate Department Manager will notify Land Development’s
Customer Service Manager (Nan Peterson) to engage the appropriate Department
Director to facilitate resolution.
The Department Director will investigate the conflict and facilitate a
conference call or meeting among the appropriate parties within 5 business days
of the submittal of the request. The director will work with the City’s
review team and the Owner/Applicant or Development Team for final
resolution. If additional time is required for research, both the development
team and staff will agree upon next steps and the appropriate timeline for
completion. Once a resolution is finalized the details will be noted on
the Accela record.
If you have any questions, please
contact Nan Peterson, City of Charlotte Customer Service and Permitting
Manager, 704-336-6691 or npeterson@charlottenc.gov
