LDS LTI: Great News for PLUS Customers - December 2023

PLUS Enhancement

LDS Customer Benefit

Added help text to commercial and residential trades permit applications.

Added help text to better inform customers about what LDS needs to see in the “estimated cost of construction” and “estimated cost of materials” fields as part of the permit application process.

Added links to required documents for residential building records.

Added instructional text and links to the residential building records that require plans and/or documents submitted through the Digital Plan Room to better explain why the form is required. Provided a link that will take customers directly to the specific required form, so customers don’t have to search for it outside of PLUS.

Made the critical structures record available when the parent permit is issued.

This allows for the critical structures record to be created if there is a revision or permit amendment that changes the requirements.

Updated the application process for non-residential use permits (Non-RUPs).

Updated Non-RUP application process by including additional questions and creating the Non-RUP number before payment.

PLUS Enhancement

LDS Customer Benefit

Added instructional text to water quality impact assessment (WQIA) drop down values on the record intake form. 

Provided more information for each code item to help customers verify they are submitting WQIA applications under the correct code reference. 

Added standard Conditions of Approval to site parent record for major plans at plan issuance.

Added standard Post-Approval conditions to major site records at plan issuance. This allows developers to track conditions for bond release under the parent plan in addition to the bond record. 

Corrected email notifications for prescreen corrections on revisions.  

Applicants receive an email notification from PLUS when the record is set to “Waiting for Information” by intake staff. This allows applicants to quickly address intake comments.

Updated site approval stamps. 

Site records have a consistent approval stamp across most plan types which better demonstrates the department issuing the approval.
