Target: city staff strives to issue 80% of permits within two or fewer review cycles (and one abbreviated review, or ASAP) by providing clear comments and guidance to applicants. Since the submittal/review process involves the city and the applicant, city staff do not have full control of this performance metric.

Site/subdivision review turnaround target: 100% of reviews completed within the established review cycle period. Since this metric measures staff’s ability to review site development and subdivision improvement applications on-time, the city has full control of this metric.

*As of December 2023, full cycle submittals of SDP and SIP applications are reviewed on a 20-business day timeframe. Preliminary SDPs are reviewed on a 15-business day timeline.
