The department is also responsible for the review and approval all
construction plans for conformance with applicable building codes as well as
conducting site inspections for all projects, including general
construction, plumbing, electrical and HVAC mechanical systems. Community Development staff works closely with the Fire Prevention Bureau to
ensure conformance with life safety code requirements and with Engineering
staff to ensure compliance with drainage, grading and steep slope
requirements.
