Development Review Committee

Purpose

There are three (3) classes of development in Putnam County. The class of development (LDC 12.05) determines the development review process (LDC 12.03). If the project meets the requirement or staff determines that preliminary development review is required, the applicant will meet with the Development Review Committee.

This process grants the applicant the opportunity to meet with staff from multiple agencies, which review different aspects of each project. The development review process is separate and different from the other review processes, such as rezonings (including PUDs), special use permits, variances, nonconforming use determinations, vesting determinations, and comprehensive plan amendments.
