SDP, SSP, SIP: number of Site/Subdivision reviews
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.
