DCI - Setting up a Project on SDCI Portal

PRELIMINARY APPLICATIONS

• We have to start every project with SDCI with a preliminary application. THIS IS NOT THE CORRECT PROCESS FOR AN STFI.
• This application starts the ball rolling on the city's end for things like pre-submittal conferences and preliminary application site visits.
• It is a good idea to have a permitting strategy before submitting the pre-app to avoid giving the city too much information

SITE PLAN DRAWING

• A site plan is needed in order to start a project with SDCI

- See TIP 103 for preliminary site plan requirements

- You can also find examples in previous projects. Usually in the Project folder/agency-permit documents/pre-app or in A8 Outbound

SDCI PROJECT PORTAL

Once the site plan is set you can begin the submittal process on the SDCI project portal

• Log in using Barbara's or Leah's account
• Under '+ CREATE NEW' select Permits - Trade, Construction & Land Use
• Under 'BUILDING PERMITS' select Building & Land Use Pre-Application
• Fill out the required fields, it's largely information you have already gathered for the site plan.

TIP: When filling in applicants & owners information use the LOOK UP option versus creating 'NEW'. This will help duplicating information on SDCI's portal

- If you don't know an answer ask Barbara or Leah

- It's a good idea to have Barbara or Leah double check the information

• Make sure to list the CLIENT as the Financially responsible party

The city will take anywhere from 2 days to 2 weeks to review the pre-application. Contact SDCI if no movement has been made in the first week. Normally, once the pre-app has been approved, the project will be given a CN record number. That is what you will use in the full review permitting process.

Remember to update the Permit Tracking Smartsheet to stay on top of deadlines!
