Loveland: Update on Development Review Process

At its Feb. 9 meeting the City Council received an update on the Community Development Department’s efforts to make the development review process more efficient and user-friendly. Staff said that by March 1 there will be a “one stop, in-person, over-the-counter permitting process for qualifying residential, commercial and sign projects. Specific days and times will be determined, and criteria will be published in a comprehensive guide.” By April 1 staff plans to have two review queues – one for smaller projects and shorter reviews and another for more complex projects requiring more review time.  A list of projects and specific review period lengths will be published by the program’s start date.
