What does CDRC mean in DEVELOPMENT

A County Development Review Committee (CDRC) is an interagency committee made up of representatives from local government departments who review and make decisions on land development and public infrastructure projects. The CDRC works to ensure that projects comply with local regulations and contribute to the welfare of the community.

Any project which involves the construction or modification of buildings, infrastructure, traffic lanes, parking lots, landscaping, or other site improvements may require review by the committee. Additionally, projects involving changes in zoning or land use may also need to go through a review process.

The members of a CDRC typically include representatives from different departments within local government such as planning and zoning, public works, transportation engineering, parks and recreation, economic development and more.

The type of decision made by the CDRC will vary depending on the project. Generally speaking they may approve or deny applications for development permits; authorize changes to building design; rule on modifications to existing structures; decide on changes to landscape architecture; approve or deny requests for variances in local codes; and approve conditions for public access improvements.
