Notes:
Reported plan-review times are for Development Services (Zoning and Building Safety). Grading-plan-review times are not included.
Reported plan-review times are based on 90th percentiles. Extreme outliers due to unusual circumstances are statistically removed from the results.
Projections are based on past performance and current-month staffing expectations.
Simple commercial tenant fit-outs in existing established locations are eligible for expedited review. Projects involving building shell alterations, significant structural work, or site-plan review are not eligible.
