In the NewsTRPA has New Strategy to reduce Building Permit Review Time
date posted: December 13 2005
Lake Tahoe Report #108
March 11, 2005
By John Cobourn and Heather Segale
The Tahoe Regional Planning Agency (TRPA) has plans to speed up the permit review process for new home construction and for additions to single family homes. The agency has fielded complaints in recent years that permit approval takes too long, and the Governing Board has taken action to remedy the situation.
In February, 2005, the Board approved a new fee structure for permit applications that is designed to improve customer service. The Agency has raised filing fees in order to create necessary funds to hire more permit review staff. The new fees became effective on March 1st, 2005. The new fee schedule will sunset on June 30, 2005 (?) unless the Agency demonstrates improvement s in the permit review process, including new accountability measures.
“A top concern of the community is the length of time the TRPA takes to review permits,” said Julie Regan, Communications Director. “While we understand that any fee increase is a concern to the public, we’ve been told that if we deliver results and perform better, people are willing to pay more to speed up the process.”
“An independent review of TRPA pointed to a major staff shortage for reviewing permit applications,” Regan said. “The bottom line is that more applications are coming into the Agency and fewer employees are available to process the applications. We’ve not kept pace with increases in workload, and something has to change in order to serve the public effectively. We have a highly qualified staff, and they need the tools to do their jobs properly.”
TRPA officials aim to cut project review time in half over the next 12 months.
A major goal of the new fee schedule is to have construction in the Tahoe Basin pay its fair share, according to Agency officials. Under the old fees, development applications have been subsidized by all taxpayers.
The Governing Board has asked the staff at TRPA to put accountability measures in place over the next four months to show progress at processing permits more efficiently. The Agency wants to improve service to the public while fulfilling its mission to preserve Lake Tahoe, officials said.
