The Q-TEAM is an alternate plan review process that allows applicants to pay a fee for an expedited plan review. Q-TEAM fees are in addition to all other fees required.  Q-TEAM plan reviews are conducted in a meeting setting with applicant and Q-TEAM staff members present. The goal is to have the permit issued after the meeting, though potential issues identified during the meeting may prohibit permit issuance. 

The Q-Team hosts   pre-development meetings to assist potential applicants with planning successful developments and helps applicants navigate the permit process. Services include coordination for development projects, troubleshooting, and problem solving to address issues that may occur during the development process. These meetings are not meant to examine every detail associated with the development process; rather, they are a tool for City staff and the applicant to share information. We want the applicant to understand the next steps of the process, as well as any major concerns and applicable ordinances. This isn't a full review meeting; it's an advising meeting.

Staff is available for follow-up after the pre-development meeting, which is a one-hour virtual meeting. At the meeting, staff representatives from the following divisions/departments will be present:

• Zoning
• Engineering (Paving & Grading)
• Engineering (Traffic & Transportation)
• Engineering (Water & Wastewater)
• Fire Department
• Building Code
• Landscape
• Other trades, as needed

After the meeting has been held, the facilitator will compile staff's comments concerning the specific project and provide them to the applicant within five (5) business days from when the meeting date.

The cost of each predevelopment meeting is determined by the size of the project.
