Unified Development Services - Charlotte Chamber of Commerce
Unified Development Services Building Development Planning, Permitting and Inspections The City of Charlotte and Mecklenburg County recognize there are opportunities to enhance services and improve collaboration to provide more seamless service delivery as it relates to the building development planning, permitting and inspection process. As a result, the City and County jointly contracted with consultants to gather input from customers and conduct an independent review of current procedures and processes, their effectiveness and efficiencies and to identify opportunities for improvement that could further customer service and optimize service delivery. As part of the independent review, the consultants identified primary themes describing current issues and the desired future vision and then translated these into a series a recommendations. City/County staff formed a Unified Development Services Committee to oversee implementation until, as recommended, a “unified” governance structure is in place. Four work teams were established to advance prioritized efforts and to facilitate continuous improvement. 0 Unified Development Services Committee Governance Team Customer Alignment Team Organizational Culture Team Immediate Improvements Team Unified Development Services Committee Co-Chairs: Leslie Johnson, Assistant County Manager Ann Wall, Assistant City Manager Members: Dave Canaan – Director, LUESA - Storm Water (County) Ebenezer Gujjarlapudi - Land Use & Environmental Services Agency Director (County) Laura Harmon - Assistant Director, Planning (City) Sophia Hollingsworth - Customer Service Center Manager, LUESA- Code Enforcement (County) Nan Peterson - Customer Service and Permitting Manager – Engineering Land Development (City) Dave Weekly - Engineering Division Manager – Land Development (City) [Page 1] Governance Team Leslie Johnson, Assistant County Manager Ann Wall, Assistant City Manager Customer Alignment – Co-Location Team (only) Co-Chairs: Ebenezer Gujjarlapudi, Land Use & Environmental Services Agency Director (County) Laura Harmon, Assistant Planning Director (City) Members: Jim Bartl – Director, LUESA - Code Enforcement (County) Patrick Granson - Deputy Director, Plan Review, LUESA - Code Enforcement (County) Laura Harmon - Assistant Director, Planning (City) Sophia Hollingsworth - Customer Service Center Manager, LUESA- Code Enforcement (County) Rob Kinniburgh - Deputy Fire Chief, Charlotte Fire Department (City) Ben Krise - Neighborhood &Business Services Division Manager, Code Enforcement (City) Dennis LaCaria - Sr. Assistant to the County Manager, County Manager’s Office (County) Kam Merrell - Plans Reviewer, Land Development (City) Nan Peterson - Customer Service and Permitting Manager - Engineering Land Development (City) Jane Taillon - Neighborhood &Business Services Operations Manager, Code Enforcement (City) Dave Weekly - Engineering Division Manager - Land Development (City) Carl Wilson - Chief Engineer, Charlotte Water (City) Project Management Support: Bill Battaile - Project Manager, Business Process Management (County) Lou Fabian - Program Manager, Business Process Management (County) Sheila Carpenter - Program Manager, Business Process Management (County) Organizational Culture Team Co-Chairs: Sophia Hollingsworth - Customer Service Center Manager, LUESA- Code Enforcement (County) Nan Peterson, Customer Service and Permitting Manager – Engineering Land Development (City) Members: TBD (City/County staff) Immediate Process & Technology Improvements Team Co-Chairs: Dave Canaan –Director, LUESA - Storm Water (County) Dave Weekly, Engineering Division Manager – Land Development Members: Jim Bartl - Director, LUESA - Code Enforcement (County) Tom Ferguson - Program Manager - Land Development (City) Gene Morton - Deputy Director, Inspections, LUESA - Code Enforcement (County) Patrick Granson - Deputy Director, Plan Review, LUESA - Code Enforcement (County) Nan Peterson, Customer Service and Permitting Manager – Engineering Land Development (City) [Page 2]
